Hey there Kayak lovers and soon to be stand-up paddle surf advocates. We have a lot to tell you about so let’s get started.
We now have a kayak rental location at Baldwin Beach (see rentals and locations), which is the closest public beach to Emerald Bay (about 1.5 miles to the entrance). While you should be active (running, biking, hiking ect.) people, many novices complete the 5-6 mile round trip to Fanmette Island in 4 hours and have been raving about the experience. This is world class scenery and paddling! Again, to complete the entire circumnavigation of Emerald Bay is a rigorous activity and recommended for active people only.
Want a little less vigorous paddling experience. Our guided Emerald Bay trips began and end in Emerald Bay. This trip offers an easy way to get on the water in Lake Tahoe’s most beautiful area, including a trip to Tahoe’s only island. Of course the Island as well as the entire bay is steeped in mystery, history and folklore. Of course our guides can fill you in on some of the highlights as well as wildlife, geology and other fun facts.
Our main location at Timber Cove Maria has the largest demo/rental fleet at the lake and we will make sure you get the proper kayak for your needs whether renting or buying. This is also the location where we have the biggest selection of stand-up paddle surfboards (SUS) for demo and sale. This location also offers a nice paddle to the largest marsh at Lake Tahoe and the largest diversity of wildlife at the lake.
If you are looking to get out on the water and relax, our new location at Pope Beach offers family friendly pedal boats as well as kayaks in a beautiful forested setting. While the stand-up paddle surf industry is going through growing pains, we are trying to stay on top of the latest innovations for surf and lake paddling. Along these lines, the best innovation for lake paddling will soon be in our shop. It is a hybrid ayak/SUS from Imagine Surfboards (see link page) Now we can send you to Emerald Bay on SUS and if you get tired or the wind comes up, attach the backrest and snap on the second blade and paddle back on your retro sit-on-top kayak.
The boat-in campground at Emerald Bay is filling up fast
