Compete in the South Tahoe Standup Paddle Series

South Lake Tahoe, California

Description

A great little way to get out with the family and paddle against/with friends. A competitive and fun environment for everyone to enjoy the summer evenings.

Starting at the Lakeview Commons you begin with the race prep and the details of how everything will run as you check in. From there it's the National Anthem and off to the water. Everyone wades out into the water standing next to your board to wait for the sound of the horn. Once it goes you hop on your board and begin paddling out to the buoy. This is a fun race that has a different distance each race. The distances range from 2-5 miles depending on what sort of course is set and there are no requirements to do the entire race. You can do one lap or 3. After the race there is a great awards ceremony and dinner provided by one of the sponsors.

Races are the last Saturday of the summer (June-Aug.)

Bike around Lake Tahoe

You'll want to wake up early for this adventure. Be sure to have breakfast and hydrate before you start. I suggest going clockwise around the lake. The elevation hit me. I also went with a group of friends, and what's nice about going in a group though is that you can stop every so often to make sure you're all with each other. The first 20 miles is uphill and hard. It was a lot of climbing. ...

Catch a Sunset at Keys Beach

Owned by the State of California, Keys Beach sits at the end of a peninsula bordered by the Tahoe Keys marina inlet to the west and the Upper Truckee River to the east. This relative isolation along with its only access being by water or a single trail keeps the beach remarkably quiet relative to the surrounding "tourist" beaches, making it an ideal place to take in one of Tahoe's unparalleled ...

Starting at the top of Stagecoach Lift on Heavenly Resort this trail wraps around the north slope down to the bottom of town at the casinos.

Hike the Lam Watah Trail

Lam Watah Trail is a 2.2 mile out and back hike, that will take you through Lam Watah meadows and ends at Nevada Beach. I did the hike in December and although the best time to do it is May through October, I think it had more charm during the winter time. The trail head begins from the parking lot and goes through Lam Watah meadows for approximately 1.1 miles where it ends at Nevada Beach. In...
