If you love being on the water and water sports, you should plan a trip to Lake Tahoe. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but there is miles and miles of lake for you to speed around on in your boat. Depending on what type of boat you have, you can do all kinds of water sports with it. You can also fish if you want to or just take a leisurely ride around the lake and get tan!

You can go skiing, wake boarding or parasailing in Lake Tahoe but don't forget your life jacket! No matter how old you are, it's always essential that you prepare for the unexpected. Even if you're just riding on the boat, wear a life jacket at all times in case there are big waves or unforeseeable currents that are much stronger than you. You may feel silly wearing a life jacket but trust me, they can and will save your life in an emergency.

It's advised not to drink when you're driving your boat in Lake Tahoe, but people tend to do it anyway. Think of it this way: you wouldn't have 10 beers and then go drive your car, would you? Hopefully the answer is no and you should give your boat, the passengers in it and all the other people on the lake the same courtesy. Your vision and motor skills are highly distorted, even after just a few drinks, so appoint a designated driver to keep everyone safe.

It's always fun to have a party on a boat in Lake Tahoe, so think about having your next birthday or anniversary party there. If you have a large enough boat, you can invite some friends to swim, ski, fish or suntan with you on it. Make sure you bring great food and music and everyone will have a great time!
