Kevin S.

I've driven past Topaz Lake many, many times but never actually went down to the recreational area to get a closer look. Today, after having lunch at the Topaz Lodge, we decided that today's the day. It's $5 for day use and you can pay at the kiosks upon entering. You'll see a small parking lot to your left on the side of the building. The kiosks are located on the front deck. They had a surprisingly decent looking campground up front with plenty of trees for shade and picnic benches. Not sure if they have grills at each site as I didn't notice any. The day use parking is a joke compared to the campground. Would be nice if they paved it but alas. The lake and beach itself is nice. There's incredible views of the mountains surrounding you. The beach is rocky but that's the case with most "desert" lakes. You can also fish here if you have a license to do so. Since the lake straddles Nevada and California, a license from either state will be honored. We just stopped here on a whim so we didn't spend a whole lot of time here. Plus it was ridiculously hot. But I could envision spending the day out here on the beach provided I had a chair, an umbrella, and plenty of ice cold beer.

Too crowded. Boats are too loud. Jet skis make too much noise. Lake gets too much algae.

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!!!

This was my first time experiencing The Tahoe Experience with a group of friends who have raved…read moreabout their experience from last year and this experience did not disappoint! 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!

He took us around a few of his recommended spot and let me tell you, the views were stunning. The clarity of the water was no joke. We had a chance to dock up for an hour or two where we could spend more time in the water. 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.

Looked to Yelp to help me find a tour that worked for us and happy to find Tahoe Lake Tours! Booking online was easy enough. Looking on Wednesday for a Friday morning time slot and there it was: 9:30-1:30 was perfect. 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. Lots of history of the area as we toured 4. Emerald Bay & Mrs. Knights castle 5. Water tubing (first time for the grandkids) 6. Hang out time for a snack (we brought lots LOL) 7. Back to the marina Dan was very knowledgeable and great with the kids. We would definitely book with Tahoe Lake Tours again and request Captain Dan. Thank you for a great ending to our week in Tahoe!

Captain Troy was accommodating, kind, hospitable, professional and knowledgeable. He took us to breathtaking sites including Emerald Bay, Fannette Island, Vikingsholm, and Rubicon Bay. We enjoyed swimming in the crystal water and never felt rushed. He provided swim floaties, a cooler with cold beverages, and let us take our time to have so much fun. He even called in advance to accommodate a better start time to ensure we had the best weather. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. Booking was easy and he answered all my questions beforehand. We highly recommend this company.

It's offered on a first-come basis, There are 29 campsites, equipped with a table, grill with fire rings and room for trailers. Two comfort stations, one of which includes a shower, are available. 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.
