Logan Shoals Vista Point

Because of its majestic characteristics and striking beauty, Logan Shoals Vista Point is one of our top wedding locations that provides for an intimate and romantic wedding. Situated on the east shore of Lake Tahoe, your vows and ring exchange will take place in an elevated nook several hundred feet up the side of a mountainous area that overlooks the deep-blue colored alpine lake.

The nook on the overlook is ideal for a small, casual ceremony for the bride and groom and a few guests. For a somewhat larger wedding party (up to a maximum of 20 people), this venue has a neighboring area that has comparable features to the nook, including a beautiful background. Photographic opportunities are abundant.

Except during heavy periods of snowfall in the wintertime, Logan Shoals is available year-round and generally very easily accessed, another of the many reasons for its popularity. Located in Nevada off Highway 50 about twelve miles from the California and Nevada border, the vista is a recognized scenic stop that has paved walkways and nearby parking. While parking is free, it’s very limited, so carpooling is highly recommended, particularly during the summer months.

Due to its location on the east side of Lake Tahoe and being elevated over the water, Logan Shoals is suited for sunset weddings, if specific atmospheric conditions exist. Favorable conditions produce an alpenglow effect, an unusual reddish hue in the sky. It’s an infrequent sight, but when present it’s a sight that will further embellish the ambiance of the bride and groom’s singular day.

Wedding services being conducted on the bluff

Since Logan Shoals resides in Nevada, a Nevada marriage license is necessary and can be obtained from any county clerk’s office situated within the state.

(There is a 20 maximum group limit at this site due to restrictions set forth by the USFS. Also, because the venue is open to the public, setting up chairs or decorations is not permitted)

Shuttle Services for Your Wedding Party

Driving in the mountainous terrain of Lake Tahoe may be a bit unsettling for some people, but there is a convenient alternative available to those attending your event. As part of our wedding services, we offer a private shuttle that’s able to transport you and all your guests in comfort to and from Logan Shoals.

Shuttle bus service is added insurance that your entire group will arrive together and on time for the most important day of your life, and it will certainly be an impressive addition to your special occasion. Your bridal party and guests are sure to have a fun time while traveling to the event.
