NEW - Summit Shores Clear Kayak Tour

Activity Description: 

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.

Clearly Tahoe provides everything our guests should need during their time on the water including but not limited to small coolers with complimentary water and granola bars, USCG approved PFDs and dry bags.
