What better way to spend the day
than adrift on a boat in Lake Tahoe?

Many lakefront home owners benefit from the use and ownership of buoys, piers, boat lifts or even boat houses making watersports in Tahoe fun and easy. Other homeowners and visitors, however, still have many opportunities to maintain a boating lifestyle in the Lake Tahoe area.

Public Boat launching facilities can be found in Kings Beach and Lake Forest on the North Shore and Sand Harbor on the East Shore. There are other private marinas offering boat launching, fueling, storage and much more.

If the speed and roaring of a motor is not what you are looking for, there are a number of boating alternatives. Kayaking has become a very popular way to get out and enjoy the lake. There are 3 North Shore locations that offer kayak and kayak equipment sales and rentals.

A number of homeowners associations around the lake provide buoy and pier access. Some of the more popular associations for waterfront amenities are:

• Brockway Springs
• Agate Bay Beach and Sun Club
• Ridgewood Estates
• Cedar Flat
• Dollar Point
• Tahoe Woods
• Chamberlands
• Tahoe Cedars
• Rubicon Bay
  and others

Some TRPA standards for watercraft recreation on the Lake are: Only the cleaner, direct fuel-injected two-stroke engines are allowed to operate on the lakes in the Tahoe area for the prevention of water pollution.

There is a 600 ft. no-wake zone (speed limit 5 mph) around the shoreline of Lake Tahoe for minimizing the impact of noise generated by motor boats and other watercraft on lakeside residents, visitors and wildlife.
