Just make sure to get a board that’s right for your size.
Fishing for trout or salmon has been a favorite Kings Beach activity for many years. But remember to purchase a fishing license before dropping a hook.

You love Lake Tahoe, and you feel as if you’ve seen all the sights it has to offer.

With Hang Gliding Tahoe, you fly a powered hang glider (with an FAA-certified instructor along) and enjoy the sight of the lake from an entirely new perspective. The flight can even count for training toward a pilot’s license. Morning flights offer spectacular year-round viewing conditions, and flights can be scheduled for 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Winter flights are warm and cozy with modern-technology heated clothing. Don’t forget to sign up for the photo or video services for a souvenir of the flight that you will treasure forever.
