The tour explores the 150 year-old second-growth Sierra Nevada forest that lines the shoreline of the historic settlements established by the Pope, Baldwin and Heller families. This environmental and historical experience guides guests past these early estates towards the Taylor Creek, known for calm morning waters and abundant wildlife. Along the way, guests may observe wildlife both above and below the surface, all while learning about the natural and delicate ecosystem of the Lake Tahoe Basin. Paddling above resting cobblestone shoreline provides a striking view of submerged granite stones with subtle natural color variations visible through the clear water at shallow depths. Framed by the Sierra Nevada mountain range, this tour also offers expansive views of Desolation Wilderness and 9,735-foot Mount Tallac. Guests will learn how this prominent peak and the surrounding landscape were historically used by the Washoe Tribe to gauge seasonality in the basin. This guided clear kayak experience is fun, educational, and immersive. The experience is designed for families, adults, and children ages five and older of all skill levels.

LIMITED TIME TOUR! - Golden Shores | Clear Kayak Tour
- Limited Time Seasonal Variation of the Summit Shores Tour
- Pet Friendly: NO
- Limitations: Ages 5+
-
Please Note: This tour is a limited time seasonal variation of our Summit Shores Tour and is offered during the peak fall foliage season in South Lake Tahoe. The Kokanee salmon run typically happens during this shift in seasons but is dependent on various natural factors beyond our control and we cannot guarantee sightings.
Description:
This 1.5 hour, approximately 2.5-mile clear kayak tour offers guests a leisurely paddle in completely clear kayaks during the fall season, when the shoreline surrounding Lake Tahoe transforms with vibrant autumn color and increased wildlife activity. As we explore the shoreline near Camp Richardson Resort, guests will paddle alongside 150 year-old second-growth Sierra Nevada forest and experience the striking seasonal shift as aspens and shoreline vegetation turn warm shades of gold and amber, creating a dramatic contrast against the clear blue waters of the lake. This seasonal wildlife and nature-focused experience guides guests toward the Taylor Marsh and Taylor Creek areas, where calm morning conditions often provide exceptional visibility into the shallows and along the shoreline. During the fall months, guests may have the opportunity to witness the annual Kokanee salmon run and observe salmon moving beneath the surface through the clear kayaks as they gather near the mouth of the creek. Along the route, guests may also see a variety of bird species such as ospreys, bald eagles, and even the possibility of black bears along the forested shoreline, though sightings are not guaranteed. Framed by the Sierra Nevada mountain range, this tour also offers expansive views of Mount Tallac while guests gain insight into the region’s natural history and seasonal rhythms that have shaped the Lake Tahoe Basin for generations. This guided clear kayak experience is scenic, educational, and immersive experience is designed for families, adults, and children ages five and older of all skill levels.Inclusions:
