Biking | ||||||||||||||
Whether you are an adventurous mountain biker, or you would just like to enjoy a relaxing bike ride along the Truckee River, there are bike trails all over Tahoe to meet your needs. One of the most popular rides begins in Tahoe City and takes you down the river to Squaw Valley (very scenic and not too strenuous). There are bike rentals shops all over the North and West shores that will set you up on the perfect bike and give you maps and directions to a great ride.

Boating/Kayaking |
||||||||||||||
The sparkling water of Lake Tahoe is the perfect spot for water sports (be prepared though, the water temperature is a bit chilly even in August). If you would like to learn to water ski, speed around the lake on a jet ski, or just paddle around in a kayak, the various boat rental shops will be able to accommodate all of your needs.

Golfing |
||||||||||||||
Lake Tahoe and the surrounding areas are famous for their world-class golf courses. There are over 10 golf courses in the North Lake Tahoe/Truckee area, and with the relatively temperate summer weather we have in the High Sierras, you can golf pretty much anytime of the day. There are also driving ranges in the area if you just want to practice your swing.

River Rafting/Floating |
||||||||||||||
Rafting (or rather floating) down the Truckee River from Tahoe City to River Ranch is one of the Tahoe summer activities that you cannot miss. You will find locals and tourists alike floating down the Truckee River on a sunny afternoon. You can rent a large raft right in Tahoe City that can fit up to 8 people, or everyone can grab a tire tube and float down individually. Don't forget a picnic lunch and drinks because it does take about 4 hours to float from Tahoe City down to River Ranch. For the more adventurous type, there is actual whitewater rafting available in the area too.

There are plenty of other activities in the North Lake Tahoe area to keep you busy for your entire vacation, or you can always just grab a book and relax on the sandy shores of the Lake. Some more fun options include horseback riding, Tahoe cruises, fishing charters, and paintball.
