South Shore visitors and residents are getting a new way to get around with the launch of Lake Link, a micro-transit shuttle system. The service will offer free rides in a zone that includes the casino corridor in Stateline, Nv., and Al Tahoe Boulevard and Pioneer Trail in South Lake Tahoe, CA.

The fleet includes wheelchair-accessible shuttles and riders can indicate on the app if they need accommodations. Children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult to ride. Only service animals are allowed on the vehicles.
Recreation
When it comes to things to do in South Lake Tahoe, you can shred down the mountain from 10,067 ft. at Heavenly Mountain Resort’s peak or you can dive into the depths of Lake Tahoe. It’s more than 1600 ft. deep, making it one of the deepest lakes in North America. Needless to say, there are plenty of things to do in Lake Tahoe above and below the surface. Dig into all that Lake Tahoe's South Shore has to offer. Natural scenery coupled with non-stop nightlife. Big-name entertainment on the edge of sandy beaches. That's just the beginning of things to do in Lake Tahoe.
