Kayak Tahoe is currently closed for the 2020 season. Weather permitting we will re-open Memorial Day weekend 2021.
There is no better way to experience the incredible beauty of Lake Tahoe than from the lake itself. We provide a range of open-deck (sit-on-top) kayaks and paddleboards that are enjoyed by beginners and experts alike.
Closed for the 2020 summer season, thanks for being patient with us on a trying season. Weather permitting we will open Saturday May 29th 2021.
