Tahoe Boating App

Boat like a Tahoe Pro

Know before you boat.

Boating and Paddling Season is Here!

We are looking forward to much safer season than the past, thanks in part to the free Tahoe Boating app.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), in collaboration with Keep Tahoe Blue and Clean Up The Lake, developed the app to inform boaters about Lake Tahoe, the location of marinas and gas stations, area attractions, weather alerts and warnings, water temperature, wind, lake level, and how to enjoy the Lake safely and responsibly, including observing no-wake zone boundaries.

The app grew out of the 2018 Shoreline Plan. Read about it here.

Prevent Aquatic Invasive Species Infestations

Eyes on the Lake

The single largest threat to Lake Tahoe’s water quality and clarity are aquatic invasive species, including shellfish, weeds and fish. These harmful ecological invaders can stow away on your boat, kayak, trailer, paddleboard, or even fishing tackle, and find their way into Big Blue. Learn more about aquatic invasive species at Tahoe.

It’s crucial to clean, drain and dry your watercraft before launching. Visit tahoeboatinspections.com for more info.

You can help Keep Tahoe Blue tackle aquatic invasive species by joining our Eyes on the Lake citizen science monitoring program. Learn how to identify and report aquatic invasive species sightings on your phone, or join our Outreach Team during the summer to help educate recreators on Tahoe’s beaches.
