Keeping our families and the public safe on the water is one of our proudest endeavors. In a setting as dynamic as Lake Tahoe we support the amplified efforts by California and Nevada to educate all boaters - motorized and non-motorized - about safety for themselves, their passengers, and other lake users.
Navigating boating regulations on our bi-state federal waterways is complicated. In this section, we've outlined the newest California and Nevada boating laws and useful boating safety and wayfinding tools to help you have a safe and enjoyable boating experience.
Safety Tips:
- Check weather and marine forecasts
- File a file a float plan
- ALWAYS wear a life jacket and paddleboard leash
- Observe the nautical rules-of-the-road for both states
