With Lake Tahoe, a.k.a. Big Blue, enticing you at every turn, it’s little wonder that Lake Tahoe boat tours and charters are wildly popular things to do in Tahoe. If you’re feeling fancy, there are 80-foot yachts that are the epitome of elegance – perfect for wedding, special occasions or just because! Or, harken to a more Southern feel and experience a paddleboat excursion around the lake on a ship that can hold up to 520 passengers (again, a great venue for any celebration). Another option for a Lake Tahoe boat tour is aboard a sailing yacht, letting Mother Nature’s wind propel you silently along the clear, emerald-colored water. And, here’s a great one: schedule a romantic gondola ride at sunset … that’s amore! Of course, there are many other types of Lake Tahoe tours, with one of the most popular being fishing charters. This is a fantastic way to experience the lake or local rivers while also catching dinner. Do you enjoy Jet skiing, biking, carriage or sleigh rides, kayak trips, ATV or snowmobile rides, helicopter excursions, sightseeing, stargazing, climbing, photography, wine tastings or river rafting? There’s a Lake Tahoe tour for that too!

12593 Donner Pass Road, Truckee, CA
History buffs, campers, cyclists, hikers and those who love their water sports will find Donner Memorial State Park the perfect place for either a visit or an extended stay. The Donner name is a nod to the story of the snow-stranded emigrants and their ill-fated wagon train in the winter of 1846–47. One part of the forlorn pioneer group made camp near Donner Lake, now site of the state park, during record-breaking snowfall. Now visitors can go to Donner Memorial State Park and check out the new $6.6 million visitor center/museum that chronicles the Donner Party and the human and natural history of the region. During summer season the park has 142 spaces for car, RV and tent camping. There is also a concessionaire renting water-sport toys from kayaks and SUPs to two-seater personal watercraft. Being a state park in the Sierra, everything is surrounded by beautiful pines and plenty of hiking and biking in adjacent Cold Stream Canyon and swimming in the kid-friendly canal and China Cove. Depending on snowfall, a cross-country ski trail is groomed through the park, which is also a great place for snowshoeing. An entrance fee is charged.
