Hiking trails have maps, roads have maps, bike trails have maps, and water trails have maps.
The Lake Tahoe Water Trail has been in place since 2003 and is a designated water route along the 72-mile shoreline that connects public launch/landing sites to help paddlers have a safe, responsible, and fun recreation experience while practicing good stewardship that protects the watershed.
The connect users to the trail, a newly designed website has been launched with paddle routes listed that match abilities and interests, navigation tools, and water safety tips.
There are 20 trailheads around the lake, including several on the South Shore. Emerald Bay, Baldwin Beach, Pope Beach, Regan Beach, Lakeview Commons, Nevada Beach, Round Hill Pines and Zephyr Cove are just eight of those 20. Some trailheads have campgrounds adjacent or nearby. The Water Trail is also broken up into seven day-trip segments from 8.5 miles to 15.9 miles.

The Sierra Business Council manages the Lake Tahoe Water Trail project.
