Last month, our blog spotlighted three small lakes in the Tahoe Basin. This month’s blog shows off a few more of the small lakes surrounding our Big Blue waters.
Sawmill Pond
If your family happens to have an avid, or beginning fisherman under the age of 14, South Lake Tahoe has the perfect destination for a visit. Just a little over 2 miles west of the South Tahoe “Y”, Sawmill Pond is stocked and ready for youngsters armed with fishing poles, power bait, and worms.
With the US Forest Service maintaining the pond, and local service clubs raising funds for stocking, it’s no wonder that the pond is popular with locals and tourists alike.
Sawmill Pond’s convenient parking lot, just off Sawmill Road, leads many families to take advantage of the area for their winter sledding adventures as well.
