Lake Tahoe boasts 72 miles of scenic shoreline, sandy beaches, and rocky inlets - paradise for kayakers and other non-motorized watercraft. Historically, however, a lack of facilities has limited lake access and basic information regarding the location of restrooms and launch sites has eluded even seasoned paddlers.
Water routes throughout the country are successful in addressing these issues. The Conservancy, in partnership with the Lake Tahoe Water Trail Committee and shoreline-oriented businesses, supports the Lake Tahoe Water Trail. A mapped route along the Lake, the Water Trail is a network of launch sites, picnic areas, restaurants, campgrounds, and overnight lodging facilities for recreational paddlers to enjoy year round. A trail map and trip-planning guide are available at: www.laketahoewatertrail.org.
