Tahoe Queen and Tahoe Paradise boats temporarily stop operations

Lake Tahoe Cruises announced on Friday that they will be stopping operations on the Tahoe Queen and Tahoe Paradise until further notice.

Cruise officials said that the current drought conditions in the Lake Tahoe region have caused historically low water levels which make it impossible to continue their sight seeing tours.

Last week, Lake Tahoe Cruises, the operator of the boat tours, had announced the Tahoe Queen would stop operating but the Tahoe Paradise boat would take over the cruise schedules.

They apologized for the inconvenience the cancellations may cause.
