Activity of the week - Lake Tahoe Water Trail 

West Shore water trail mapLake Tahoe offers 72+ miles of shoreline, with sandy beaches and rocky inlets – ideal conditions for kayaks, paddleboards, and other non-motorized watercraft to enjoy the Lake Tahoe Water Trail. Public agencies in both states operate beaches with good launching opportunities, and if you rent from Homewood you can launch right across the street at the West Shore cafe and inn.

Click here for a map that identifies the main launch sites for a wide variety of day trip experiences. At these sites, you will find parking and restrooms during the summer paddling season.

You can also download a detailed West Shore water trail map here - perfect for exploring the shoreline around Homewood.
