Tahoe Time: Summer Watersports Preview
The May episode of Tahoe Time switches gears to summer, with a look at four of Lake Tahoe's favorite watersports activities and outfitters. Take a look, then make plans to spend some Tahoe time on the water!
Mountain Air Sports - Truckee River Rafting
Rafting on the Truckee River, between Tahoe City and River Ranch, is a great family activity and a Tahoe favorite. Climb aboard a durable raft and launch from Tahoe City to enjoy a peaceful, 3 hour ride through quiet sections, mountain meadow areas, and casual, fun rapids. Stop along the way and picnic, a swim and enjoy the river scene. Shuttle buses return you to the start when you're done.
