In 1935,
General George Whittell Jr. had the opportunity to purchase
40,000 acres of land on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.
The purchase included 27 miles of northern shoreline.
In 1960, Whittell sold off 9,000 acres of his land
that was eventually developed by Art L. Wood.
By 1968, over 3,000 homes stood in Incline Village
with plans on the way for a brand new ski resort.
In 1987,
this resort became Diamond Peak
and doubled in size with the addition of new ski runs.
Today, Diamond Peak Ski Resort is located just behind the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe
and ranks in the World's 100 Best Ski Runs.
The Hyatt Regency competes with three other premier resorts in the area,
including Tahoe Biltmore Lodge and Casino,
Parkside Inn at Incline, and the Hyatt Residence Club Lake Tahoe.
Guests and residents can enjoy both the Incline Village Championship Golf Course
and Incline Village Mountain Golf Course.
Both are surrounded by lush foliage with lake views
amongst many other recreational facilities in the community.
The Incline Village Tennis Center has 10 tennis courts
set in the forest scenery,
while the Incline Bike Park provides varying bike trails for every skill level.
Incline Village Recreation Center is west of the bike park,
serving as the main gym facility to residents.
Sand Harbor State Park is 10 minutes from Incline Village
and is home to the annual Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival.
The unique beaches of Sand Harbor feature large rock formations across its shores.
When you're feeling lucky,
head to Incline's western neighbor Crystal Bay.
The Crystal Bay Casino has been around since the beginning of the community.
The renovated and improved casino offers table games,
slot machines, and a sportsbook.
For the non-gamer, Crystal Bay Club hosts excellent live entertainment,
in addition to the Steak and Lobster House.
