Fallen Leaf Lake: Nuptials in Nature
What some consider as a hidden gem, this pictorial spot is ideal for the bride and groom desiring a matrimonial affair amidst nature’s exoticism that Fallen Leaf Lake offers. This naturalized habitat delivers an exceptional scenic view in a wooded area and comprises a spot where you can exchange vows at the water’s edge. The atmosphere is one of serenity, and the photo opportunities are immense.
Just a short drive from Lake Tahoe on the southwestern edge near Desolation Wilderness, this attractive hidden lake with a 7 mile circumferential shoreline is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and tenders an impressive vision of Mount Tallac, creating a fantastic backdrop for your meaningful event. You’ll undeniably enjoy viewing the pristineness of this glacial mere and the mountainous peaks that rise dramatically above it.
Once you arrive at the small parking area nearby the wedding site, you’ll enjoy a brief 5 minute hike on a dirt path that leads you to the waterfront. The path is lined with arborescence that generates a peaceful ambiance. The ceremony commences lakeside, where you’ll unite in wedlock in the midst of boundless glory.
If a walk down the aisle of matrimony in the wilderness is an appealing thought, Fallen Leaf Lake is an idyllic place. The limitless splendor you’ll witness will be a memorable experience. Because parking is limited, small groups of up to 10 are suggested.
