Activities on Lake Tahoe

Expert scuba divers, as well as novices taking beginners' classes, enjoy high visibility in 55 to 68-degree water on Lake Tahoe during the summer months. Divers can see schools of trout, huge submerged boulders and dramatic vertical drops as close as 25 feet from shore that are ideal for wall diving.

During ski season, thousands of people from all over Nevada and California, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, flock to the slopes for downhill skiing.The majority of the ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe region are on the northern end of the lake, near Truckee, California and Reno, Nevada. Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly are located on the southern side of the lake, approximately 80 miles (129 km) from Reno.Throughout Tahoe, cross-country skiing, snowmobile riding and snowshoeing are also popular, thus there are many trails for them.

Lake Tahoe is a boating paradise as one of the clearest, cleanest, and most beautiful lakes in the United States. For those without their own boat, there are cruises and rentals available for all types and sizes of watercrafts. For those with their own boats, full service boat landings are abound.
