Lake Tahoe water is always cold, even on the hottest day of summer. Cold Water Shock can cause immediate swim failure, leaving you physically and mentally incapacitated. Cold Water Immersion can cause numbness and a loss of mental faculties in less than 3 minutes and leads to hypothermia.
Always wear your life jacket to keep your head above water, and to keep your body warm and insulated.
Weather can change rapidly and create dangerous paddling conditions. Watch weather and marine forecasts and plan your route to be able to get off the water safely and quickly in the event of high waves, rain, snow, or lightning.
