Outdoors: Kayaking In Slow Motion
| Newsweek and Tahoe Adventure Company By Paul Tolme Calm-water kayak tours are like a nature hike on water, offering the chance to see wildlife and view landscapes unreachable on foot. Void of running rapids or raging surf, calm-water tours are ideal for first-timers. Here are a few locations where beginners can get their paddles wet. Lake Tahoe's legendary clarity and aqua-blue color allow visitors to see down 70 feet and draw comparisons with the Caribbean-that is, until you touch the brisk mountain water that flows down from California's Sierra Nevada and Nevada's Carson ranges. Navigate around giant rounded boulders deposited by glaciers and land on a secluded beach for lunch ($85 for a five-hour trip; tahoeadventurecompany.com Sunset, Full Moon & Astronomy Paddles Are Popular Summer Fun at Lake Tahoe Float in a kayak on the clear blue water at Lake Tahoe while the sun sets the sky on fire!

Lake Tahoe Water Trail and Tahoe Adventure Company
| Despite legislative delay, plans continue By Joanna Hartman Sierra Sun September 5, 2007 The dream of a kayak and canoe trail around the shores of Lake Tahoe continues to move forward, despite recent delays in California legislation. Assemblyman Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, scored an apparent victory in April when his Lake Tahoe Water Trail Bill, AB 1227, passed through the Assembly Natural Resources Committee. Sponsored jointly by the Lake Tahoe Water Trail Committee and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce, the assembly bill would have authorized the creation of a kayak and canoe trail around the 72-mile perimeter of Lake Tahoe. But the bill has since been waylaid and will likely be re-introduced by a new legislator next year, said Executive Director Patrick Wright of the California Tahoe Conservancy. At a Tahoe City Public Utility District board of directors meeting Tuesday evening, Wright explained that even though a state mandate would have to wait another year, water trail plans are moving forward.

Bachelor parties get more relaxed, PG
| Date Published: 2006 By Andrew DiLuccia The bachelor party has long been a clich for wild debauchery and adult entertainment. But as the years have gone on, many men are finding that scantly clad women and a lot of alcohol is not the only way to send their friends on to matrimony. The days of getting the groom the night before his wedding and taking him out on a world-wind tour of adult fun has transformed to weekend trips a few weeks or so before the nuptials that involve many activities. While the strip club and adult-themed bars are still a standby, golfing trips, poker parties, sports games, weekend trips and outdoors adventures are getting higher on the list of priorities. Kayaking on Lake Tahoe is one of the many things you can do when going on a weekend trip run by the Tahoe Adventure Company.

Moonlight kayaking a quiet adventure on Lake Tahoe
| MERRIE LEININGER RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL Posted: 9/22/2006 The smoke from California wildfires crept over the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, threatening views during our astronomy-themed full moon kayak trip on a Thursday night. I stood on the beach of Tahoe Vista Recreation Area with my friend, Jessica Caughey and our guide, Kevin Hickey, and looked at the hazy sky. Our fears were confirmed as the sky darkened -- but the smoke gave us something, too -- a sunset full of pink and orange clouds, and a huge red moon that reflected off the water. The other lights lining the shore and the glow sticks taped to every paddle, dipping up and down, comforted us as we made our way out into Lake Tahoe in the dark. Hickey, who owns the Tahoe Adventure Company, led the group of about 15 people in double, sit-on-top kayaks out past the moored boats and toward Tahoe City. Before we started he had provided a short lesson on paddling and getting in and out of the water and provided everyone with warm drysuits. Hickey says you ... |
NY Times and Tahoe Adventure Company
| By CINDY PRICE ~ New York Times Published: August 18, 2006 POLITICS and religion aside, 200,000 people can't be wrong. According to the California Tahoe Conservancy, that's the estimated crowd at Lake Tahoe on a busy summer weekend. That's enough people to make you rethink your vacation plans, but Tahoe never feels too frantic. Maybe it's the enormous mountain lake standing center, proudly straddling California and Nevada, that lets you know right away who's in charge, but the weekenders who flood the 72 miles of shoreline instinctively bow to nature's pace. And there's that other little fact, too - far less provable, but widely asserted: There's nothing quite like a weekend spent circling Tahoe. The endless activities of summer are standard enough, but they're set to a Sierra backdrop of soaring evergreens and crystalline water worthy of a thousand poets. Throw in the late-night siren call of the Nevada casinos, and it's a tough act to follow. Friday 3 p.m. DEEPER SHADES OF BLUE "It's just like th... |
