WHY THE LAKE TAHOE WATER TRAIL NEEDS YOU

The LTWTA advocates for paddler interests at Lake Tahoe, promotes development of
the Lake Tahoe Water Trail, and helps paddlers keep in touch with emerging issues.

Our accomplishments:
  • Urging agency support for paddling access – new rental programs at California
    and Nevada State Parks will begin this year. With your help, we can work on
    keeping access points available for more of the year and keep up the pressure
    about opening more areas for legal camping.
  • Improving information available for paddlers – our Map and Trail Guide is a good
    comprehensive resource and we are working to improve info available from
    our website. We are also working with area agencies to develop a coordinated
    signage program identifying public access points from the land and water.
  • Providing input to public agencies about paddler needs, particularly in the context
    of the emerging aquatic invasive species inspection program. Our involvement
    helped direct the program away from blanket prohibitions to one that relies on
    developing paddler stewardship values and skills to avoid spreading aquatic
    invasive species.
  • Promoting the Lake Tahoe Water Trail as a primary public recreation resource
    at the lake that contributes to a sustainable economy and protects our natural
    resources. Protecting lawful public access requires constant vigilance and we are
    the eyes on the ground to do that!
  • Hosting annual interpretive group paddles that are fun and build our knowledge
    about Lake Tahoe, its natural and cultural assets.
