Kings Beach, CA – The boat launch at Tahoe Vista Recreation Area opened on June 24, and will remain open as long as water levels allow. The launch will be open:
- 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday
- Noon to 6:30 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Inspectors will be present during these hours to serve those wishing to launch. Hours may change from time to time throughout the Summer but will be posted at the launch. Check the Boat Launching page of the North Tahoe Parks Web site at www.northtahoeparks.com for current operating hours once the launch has opened.
The boat launch basin at Tahoe Vista Recreation Area was dredged this Spring to the maximum depth allowed by Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board to allow for construction of courtesy docks that will be constructed in the basin this year.
Boaters should exercise caution because low lake levels continue in spite of the late storms and shallow conditions just outside the launch basin will continue to be a concern for larger boats. There will be a “launch at your own risk rule” in place and boat owners are advised to be cautious when accessing the lake.
