Things to Do in South Lake Tahoe: Boating and Sailing

One of the magical aspects to Lake Tahoe is the clarity of her water. With shorelines reminiscent of the tropics, Lake Tahoe is blessed with a lovely range of blues and turquoise that are hard to find elsewhere. To celebrate this fact, Clearly Tahoe is taking their guided kayak trips to the next level with transparent kayaks. Specializing in unique, luxurious guided excursions, Clearly Tahoe allows guests to see beneath the surface to a depth of 65 feet. The tours range in difficulty and length, catering to all abilities, strength levels and ages (they take children as young as 5 years old). Rentals are available at their Sand Harbor State Park location in Incline Village and their shop in Zephyr Cove. Tours are available in Incline Village, South Lake Tahoe, Zephyr Cove, Camp Richardson Resort and Egdewood Resort.

DL Bliss State Park is a culmination of absolute Tahoe beauty in the form of stunning turquoise water, old-growth forests and giant cartoon-like granite boulders that balance themselves like toys in amazing ways. There are multiple hiking trails that lead from the park, giving plenty of opportunities to enjoy the splendor that outdoor Tahoe has to offer, and you'll find several good dive spots here too. To help enjoy the area even more, there are 150 regular campsites and one group site, all having easy access to the water via various points around the park. The park is also good for dogs as long as they're on a leash at all times and not on the trails. If you're coming to the park for day use only it is highly advised that you come early, as the park tends to be very busy and parking is limited. The park does not allow day use visitors once the parking lots are full. The park closes in the winter, although access to trails is still available. Visitors should remember to pack it in and pack it out and to leave no trace.
