Life In Pictures – Lake Tahoe

Kayak or Paddleboard over Crystal Waters

On a perfect day, you can peer as deep as 21 meters down into the glacier-fed depths of Lake Tahoe from paddleboard or kayak. Plan on spending a morning atop the lake, when the winds are still low, and the lake is at its smoothest. As late-summer mornings can be chilly, it’s never a bad idea to bring along a wetsuit. For a full list of paddle shops and points of interest, check out the Lake Tahoe Water Trail.
