Note: Not available in the winter months. From Kings Beach take Hwy 28 toward Incline Village. Turn left on to Reservoir Dr. after the stateline just past the Biltmore Casino parking lot. Follow Reservoir Dr. until it dead ends in front of a private drive. Turn right on to Lakeview Drive. (You'll see a "Fire Lookout" sign on your left). Follow Lakeveiw until you see the Fire Lookout gate on your left. You may have to park here. There is parking just pass the gate on the right hand side of the road. Do not block the gate or the driveway across from it. If the gate is open follow the road up to the lookout(it is usually closed).
