Insider Tips
- During summer, you can arrive in style by boat to many of the stops on the Tahoe Rum Trail.

- One dollar of every purchase of a Duke’s Mai Tai at Sunnyside will be donated to Lake Tahoe Waterman Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing public access to Lake Tahoe and utilizing human powered paddle sports to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Fun Facts
