Tahoe time

By: DogTrekker Staff

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Dying to get out on “Big Blue” with your pup? Tahoe Keys Boat Rentals and its affiliate locations will fix you up with a dog-friendly boat (and a “boat butler” captain, if needed) for exploring scenic Emerald Bay or simply cruising along the shore.

If you’d rather paddle than zoom, Tahoe City Kayak, offers Jackson Rec kayaks with cockpits big enough for the two of you to fit inside. It’s also a big player in Tahoe’s SUP (stand-up paddleboard) world and welcomes dogs at it’s Tahoe City pier location.

Another good place to paddle with a four-legged passenger at Tahoe is Waterman’s Landing in Carnelian Bay, which offers SUP rentals along with light meals and has the added advantage of being adjacent to the dog-friendly shoreline at Patton’s Landing.
