Lake Tahoe: When it Comes to Water Sports, What Isn’t There to Do?

by | Mar 30, 2012 | Sports And Games

Water sports on Lake Tahoe are an essential part of spending summer by the lake, whether you wish to take things slow by kayak or paddle board or if you prefer to shake things up a bit by taking water skiing lessons. Lake Tahoe boasts the second deepest lake in the United States. Its waters are also among the clearest and cleanest of any lake. Views into the clean, clear water offer a stunning view of plant or fish life.

It is estimated that nearly every visitor to Lake Tahoe takes a boat ride during some part of his or her vacation in Lake Tahoe. Many visitors who come to Lake Tahoe have no water sports experience at all. Happily, there are many locations to choose from if you want to learn. Water skiing lessons in Lake Tahoe are a favorite, but many people also opt for wind surfing, canoeing, kayaking, or paddle boarding. There is also parasailing, jet skiing, fishing, scuba diving, and more. The list of activities to do in the water in Lake Tahoe is seemingly endless.

The summer is an ideal time to participate in water sports. It is important to keep in mind that early in the season or late in the season, it tends to get a little chilly on the water – it is over 6,000 feet in elevation, after all! Wetsuits during chillier days are suggested, especially when participating in an activity like water skiing. If you are a newcomer to water sports, it is a good idea to check with the locals – perhaps at your rental shop or instruction center – to see if they suggest using a wetsuit if you think you may get chilled. Water skiing lessons prepare you for keeping yourself upright in water … but they may not necessarily teach you that you need to bundle up!

Lake Tahoe offers several centers for water skiing lessons. In some cases, in addition to offering water skiing lessons, Lake Tahoe water skiing centers will offer rental of equipment for seasoned water skiers who need no instruction but simply need gear. Water skiing lessons are generally available from beginner to advanced levels, and generally include wetsuits and other necessary equipment such as gloves, life vests, and inner tubes with the cost of the water skiing lessons. Finally, if you don’t feel that you are the water sports type of person, you can always don a swimsuit and start working on that tan.
