Your three-hour Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) rental will start at a local kayak facility near the mouth of the Truckee River, Lake Tahoe’s only outlet, where you have the option to paddle out in whatever direction you feel like. The lake is 12 miles across and dozens of miles long, and although you may be tempted, you’ll want to stay close to the shore and avoid trying to cross among the motorboats and jet skiers cruising the area. Your single-person kayak will keep you afloat among the gentle waves and light wind that cross the lake in the early morning and afternoon as you float by the granite boulders and massive sugar pines that ring the lake. The time will pass quickly as you work your muscles and push yourself throughout the three hours until you return to the river to disembark for your next adventure - unless you decide to upgrade to a full day rental!

Lake Tahoe boasts some of the clearest waters globally, and observing them from a standing position on a paddleboard allows for an exceptional view into their deep blue depths. The shallow water launch at El Dorado Beach is beginner-friendly, and a brief 10-minute paddle leads to breathtaking vistas of Lake Tahoe’s tallest mountains and a pristine beach adjacent to a wildlife preserve.
