Water Sports in Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is the quintessential place to enjoy water sports. The clear, blue water beckons summer and fall visitors to capture all the adventure in this area.

If you don't have a boat or jetski, there is always just plain swimming. Some of the best places to swim at the lake are Lester Beach, Sand Harbor and King's Beach. If you like kayaking, rent a kayak at Zephyr Cove or Camp Richardson and do the Lake Tahoe Water Trail, or bring your own and kayak from Lester Beach in D.L. Bliss to Emerald Bay.

Tahoe has some excellent salmon and trout fishing. Tahoe Sport Fishing Co. can charter a boat for you and show you the best places to reel in your line. If you want to stay closer to the area's rivers, try some fly fishing near Squaw Creek.

For some extreme fun, rent a jetski from Camp Richardson on the South Shore and enjoy some wave action. For something different, visit King's Beach and North Shore Parasail and do some parasailing off the back of a boat over the blue water.
