Fall scavenger hunt printable for kids and easy picnic ideas while exploring Lake Tahoe.

Our family recently visited the beautiful Lake Tahoe area. It’s quite possibly one of my favorite weekend getaway trips along the California/Nevada border. The area is known as a top ski destination during the winter, but the rest of the year provides plenty of outdoor activities and incredible weather.

Fall Scavenger Hunt

Of course, we took advantage of this little getaway to soak in some time with nature away from electronics. Thankfully my kids love going on nature scavenger hunts and having picnics, especially in the fall! This was the perfect opportunity to enjoy a nature walk and keep an eye out for changing leaves, pinecones, and small forest animals.

Fall Scavenger Hunt Ideas

  • Orange, red, yellow leaves
  • pumpkins
  • apples
  • acorns
  • pinecones
  • wildflowers
  • insects
  • mum plant
  • gourds

Lake Tahoe with kids

With some snacks in tow, we headed out to explore the beautiful scenery. We stayed in a cabin in South Lake Tahoe on the California side then drove to Sand Harbor on the north side of the lake in Nevada. This area is known for paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming. The water is crystal clear blue and quite amazing to look at. We then walked along a few paths in the woods to go on a fall scavenger hunt. The kids always look forward to checking things off our scavenger hunt list and discovering new things along the way.
