With more than 700 acres of land, D.L. Bliss State Park has several sights and activities to offer every kind of visitor. For those who love hiking and sightseeing, various paved and dirt trails may be explored within the park. One of their trails, Balancing Rock Trail, features a unique stone formation consisting of tons of granite seemingly balancing atop a thinning stone base. This geological marvel has been one of the park’s most popular natural attractions. Several campsites and picnic areas are also available for those looking to relax with nature. Unexpectedly, even beach-lovers can enjoy an afternoon as they relax on the shores of Lester Beach and Calawee Cove. Swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing are also welcomed activities at the beach. Last but not least, swimming or scuba diving within the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe is sure to be a hit for park-goers as well.
