Paddling Echo Lakes offers a fabulous escape
from the daily grind, allowing you to savor
the peace and tranquility of these beautiful
natural settings. The lakes feature a
diverse array of scenery, with plentiful
sheltered inlets to explore along their
rugged, rocky shorelines. However, limited
pullout access points can make navigating
the lakes a challenge.
These high Sierra lakes situated just south
of Lake Tahoe are a premier paddler's
wonderland, surrounded by granite peaks and
dense forests that reach to the water's
edge. The 4.5-mile round-trip paddle across
both the Lower and Upper Echo Lakes rewards
visitors with outstanding scenery, wildlife
sightings, and panoramic vistas.
Despite feeling remote and secluded, Echo
Lakes are a popular summer destination for a
wide range of outdoor
recreation.
The lakes' natural beauty and serenity make
them a true kayaker's paradise, offering a
chance to disconnect from the everyday while
immersed in a picturesque mountain
landscape.
