 Drive north on Highway 89 from Lake Tahoe in the summer and you’re bound to see hundreds if not thousands of brightly colored rafts and other inflatable devices on the river, but the four-mile stretch of the Truckee form Tahoe to River Ranch is more of a leisurely float than a whitewater adventure.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

 Taco Bell’s Grilled Stuft Steak Burrito® never tasted so good. The time was 4:42 p.m. at Crystal Peak Park in Verdi, Nev., and thanks to the heat in Keith’s cozy Toyota FJ Cruiser my fingers were starting to thaw from their frozen grip I had since 4:42 a.m. — when we started our “expedition” of the Truckee River from Lake Tahoe to Reno’s Wingfield Park.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Grab a buddy and form your own Muck Squad for Reno River Festival’s inaugural Run Amuck competition. The race will start and finish in the middle of the festival, so you’re sure to be seen by everyone and their mother (unless she’s running amuck as well). Contestants will be going from Wingfield Park to Idlewild Park, where you'll get to “low crawl” through a 60-foot mud pit and continue on through other surprise obstacles throughout the 2.5-mile course.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

In fact, the very name of his establishment evokes images of Tahoe’s iconic wooden boats. But, Turner’s ties to Lake Tahoe began more than four decades ago, when he and his family spent their summers vacationing in Tahoe during the sixties.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

 “We are just caretakers of these treasures,” says Jeff Peterson, who along with his wife Linda, purchased their 1949 22-foot Chris-Craft Sportsman in 1991. The San Rafael, Calif. resident grew up in Minnesota, with a family cabin on Bay Lake. Many a childhood summer was spent boating, waterskiing, and water tobogganing, often in the company of his grandmother, Elenor Emma.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

 With a name like Lollipop, you wouldn’t expect this boat to be sequestered as a museum piece. No, this lively 1948 Chris Craft Racing Runabout, also called a “Red-and White” due to its colors, is part of the family. Owners Steve and Cheryl Caplan, who spend their summers in South Lake Tahoe, fell in love with this unique boat, despite the fact that its small, sporty design is not the most practical for Tahoe’s unpredictable and sometimes choppy waters.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
