Lake Tahoe is a premier destination for
water sports enthusiasts in Northern
California. The region's majestic mountains
and crystal-clear waters offer endless
opportunities for paddling adventures.
Whether you're an experienced kayaker or a
beginner, you'll be treated to panoramic
vistas of the rugged landscape as you
explore the lake's hidden treasures.
This iconic alpine lake is renowned for its
diverse array of water sports, from kayaking
and canoeing to stand-up paddleboarding and
fishing. The cool, deep waters are home to a
thriving population of mackinaw and kokanee
salmon, with the Emerald Bay area and
northwestern shore being prime spots for
catching the 5-8 pound mackinaw that
frequent the lake.
While the water temperature remains icy
year-round, Lake Tahoe never fully freezes
over, making it a prime destination for
paddlers. However, the lake is also known
for its hazardous wind conditions,
especially on the eastern side, so it's
essential for even experienced kayakers to
be mindful of changing weather. With proper
preparation and an understanding of one's
abilities, even novice paddlers can enjoy a
safe and exhilarating outing on the lake.
Exploring the 72-mile shoreline offers a
wealth of scenic wonders, from the
crystal-clear waters and protruding boulders
along the eastern shore to the glittering
white sand and granite boulders that dot the
lake bed.
 Paddlers
can embark on self-guided excursions or join
guided tours to navigate the intricate mazes
and narrow passageways that wind through
this breathtaking landscape.
