We will arrive at the beach, sign a waiver, pick a kayak, get a quick tutorial on paddling, and get out paddling on the water!

Your three-hour kayak 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.
