Inflatable Kayak Blog

I was talking with a newbie who was just getting into paddling and was very excited about it. They had just purchased an inflatable kayak and were already making plans to head out to a lake not far from where they lived in the desert in Nevada. Wait a minute! Paddling near the desert in Nevada???

They straightened me out on that real fast. I had no idea there were so many great places to kayak in Nevada. I guess my perception was too skewed. After all there is Lake Mead near Las Vegas, the Colorado River, the Owyhee River (Class II & III rapids), the Truckee River (Class I, II & III rapids) and the incredibly beautiful views at Lake Tahoe (shown in the picture). I’m sold. Now Nevada is on my “wish list” of kayaking destinations. As a major traveler, I’ve been to Vegas several times … Ooo, I can get one of those great packages deals they offer, paddle during the day, store my inflatable kayak in my room, hit the shows at night … sleep, who needs it?
