Your three-hour Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) 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. Your single-person kayak will keep you afloat among the gentle waves and light wind that cross the lake in the early morning and afternoon as you float by the granite boulders and massive sugar pines that ring the lake. The time will pass quickly as you work your muscles and push yourself throughout the three hours until you return to the river to disembark for your next adventure - unless you decide to upgrade to a full day rental!

Lake Tahoe’s waters are some of the clearest in the world, and viewing them from a paddleboard’s standing position lets your see more clearly into their deep blue depths. Our shallow water launch at El Dorado Beach is easy for beginners, and a short 10 minute paddle takes you to sweeping views of the tallest mountains in Lake Tahoe, and a pristine beach along a wildlife preserve.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
