Several sites can hold an RV up to 45 feet in length. Don't forget to get your Nevada fishing license before dropping a hook into the lake. The views of Washoe Valley & the Sierra Nevada Mountains make it all worthwhile !!

I spent some time in the picnic area and walking along the shoreline. The park was well maintained with lots of shady spots, cool grass and sandy beaches. The bathrooms were convenient and clean and there was a generous parking area. There are BBQ grills and lots of picnic tables throughout the area. There is also a large group pavilion. There are a number of trails around, but may be better suited for cooler weather as there is not a lot of shade away from the day-use area. There is a ranger station a few miles north that is worth a stop. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is a small exhibit of old mining and farming equipment and a very nice native plant garden. Definitely worth the stop.

The booking process and attention Lyndsay gave with feedback and answering questions was professional and quick. We appreciated the honesty and couldn't have asked for better value in the investment of these memories made! Both charters we were lucky enough to have Captain Heather. When we went out with the kids, she was very patient and kind in helping them learn how to wakeboard. The water was a bit choppy that day, but Captain Heather was gracious enough to find the best possible spots for the kids to have fun! She gave some fun facts as we passed by various locations. When we went out again several days later with our friends, we were happy to have the same level of professionalism and FUN with Captain Heather. She really meshed with our group's vibe and offered us a fun mix of enjoying site-seeing, wakeboarding & tubing, and even a quick stop in at Chamber's Landing! I would absolutely recommend Lake Tahoe Boat Rides and will most definitely book with them again. Thank you to Lyndsay & Heather for being a part of these memories created!!!

We got to swim in the most beautiful water that we wouldn't have had access to if we didn't have the boat or a great captain to show us the way. I've got to admit that I was kind of nervous to go out on the lake with the kids prior to the trip, but I was able to relax quickly after sensing that Jarod clearly had things under control. Feeling safe out on the lake was HUGE for us mamas onboard. We can't thank you enough, Jarod Core memories were for sure made today.

I will certainly reach out to them the next time we are back in Lake Tahoe and I HIGHLY recommend them.

My kids chose the 2-hour Class C - 20 feet open Bow Speed Boat ($478). I thought we would have a driver with us to take us out but no.... They showed my kids how the boat operates, took us out to the open water, and let us loose! There was eight of us on board. It was beautiful out on the water, with the rocking waves, and beautiful scenery and sky. But not when you have my kids driving it like a race car on water. We were rocking like crazy and we all got wet. Especially my grandchildren sitting at the front, who were drenched! I told my kids to slow down, but they say, "he said we could floor it." OMG!! The kids had to put on life jackets and the adults were told there are emergency life jackets on board. Well, with my kids enjoying what the boat can do, I threw on my life jacket! I admit, my kids are very responsible drivers on land. They had so much fun driving the boat in the wide open lake. As scared as I was of possibly being overtaken by waves or capsizing, it was an amazing experience, and it felt so good out there. Absolutely beautiful!! I really enjoyed it, and the staff were great. They know exactly what they're doing. The water started to get kind of choppy, so we ventured back towards the shore after an hour, called them on the radio, and staff came out on a dingy to help dock the boat so that we can safely get out. I am so glad I went on this excursion. If you love the water and drifting up and down with the waves, this is a must try!

It included a shuttle ride to Ski Run Blvd Marina where we boarded the Safari Rose. The captain and crew were amazing! They served light hors d'oeuvres, they had a bar on board as well. The views were amazing! We went from the marina to Emerald Bay and back. This is definitely a must try in South Lake! The only hiccup was the delivery of the mobile tickets and there was not a lot of information about how to obtain them. I tried calling all the numbers that were listed through Golden Nugget but no one returned my call. Once this gets ironed out, it would definitely be a 5-star experience.

Bret is extremely generous with his services and included many activities for us to choose from once we reached various points in the lake. Bret gave us free range on where we wanted to go and even gave us recommendations himself based on where the water would be better to swim in as we went during a windy day. The experience was super enjoyable, fun, and relaxing. We got to plug in our own music and as my friends decided to cliff jump, Bret gave me a lesson on paddle boarding as it was my first time. Had a blast paddleboarding and swimming and my friends enjoyed climbing rocks to jump off of into the lake. Bret even gave them a mini lesson on diving into the water. Our time slot was planned out very well as we chose two locations to go to and Bret was more than happy to accommodate our requests on where we wanted to spend most of our time. Cannot wait to continue booking boating experiences with Bret and highly recommend this experience to anyone interested or thinking about booking!

The pontoon came with a water slide, cooler, and speakers, but Bret also provided us with two paddle boards and a lily pad. He even took out his drone to capture a few pictures and videos to share with us. What made the whole experience great was Bret sharing all his fun facts. He is very knowledgeable about the lake and the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend booking with them if you are interested in going out to the lake.

The staff was unfriendly from the start and made us feel unwelcome. Five minutes into our ride, my wife and daughter accidentally entered a restricted area. We understand it was our mistake, but instead of simply explaining the situation, they brought them back to shore, wasting much of our rental time. After that, my wife didn't want to continue, so I went out with my daughter instead. She was so uncomfortable that she kept saying the staff member was going to come back and take us out again, so she couldn't enjoy the ride. Overall, the lack of customer service and the staff's attitude ruined what should have been a fun family experience. They showed no empathy or concern, even though there was a young child with us.

The web site states exactly what will happen during the 4 hours and offers a phone number to call for questions. Parking and check in were easy and Captain Dan was ready for us. The boat was clean and well stocked with life jackets that fit for both adults and children (ages 8,6,4) as well as water bottles. Before leaving the dock we were offered water for a cooler which we didn't need but the offer was appreciated. Our 4 hours: 1. Safety information 2. Review of our preferences for the tour 3.
