STORY
SUMMARY: (NORTH LAKE TAHOE, California/Nevada) –
There’s no doubt that the waters of Lake Tahoe are one
of the region’s main attractions, especially in the summer
when visitors take to “Big Blue” via kayaks.
FOOTAGE
DESCRIPTION: The footage includes current video of
Lake Tahoe, shot Wednesday, July 30, plus recent b-roll of kayaking
in Sand Harbor, NV, on Lake Tahoe's east shore. Also included
is a soundbite (see below).
SUGGESTED
COPY: Kayaking may be the most intimate way to experience
North Lake Tahoe, and with kayak shops as abundant as ski rental
outlets from the West Shore to Incline Village, visitors will
have no problem renting their own private vessel. Guided excursions
are ideal for first-timers. Noteworthy tours include moonlight,
scenic Emerald Bay and Sand Harbor cruises and the historic
Thunderbird Lodge outing.
Experienced
kayakers can take advantage of the Lake Tahoe Water Trail, which
allows paddlers to plan a custom trip around the 72-mile shoreline.
The trail map includes information about access points, resting
places, campgrounds, points of interest and related facilities.

Tahoe was recently recognized as the #1 U.S. travel destination
