Sand Harbor on the East side is a good place to put in. More recently, I put in at the beach at DL Bliss state park on the West side and paddle down to Emerald Bay, take a spin around the little island, then back again. The water is unbelievably clear and the large hulking granite monoliths that form much of the shoreline are a sight to behold.
I've been wanting one for years but had to wait for the kids to get big enough. It's also a great way to get outside in SOMD, there's not much around here in the way of hiking and I'm not part of the road bike cult.
Lots of great creeks and inlets to explore and fish in. Seen lots of eagles, ospreys, herons, and all sorts of other wildlife.
What’s the average daytime water temp?
We have a 20+yr old canoe under the deck. Seems to be in good shape but hasn't been in the water forever. Let me know if you're interested. Might come with some bonus spiders too.
You had me at bonus spiders.
Tahoe is brisk, even in the summer - usually maxes out about 70F. I've been swimming in it, but it isn't pleasant. The goal is to remain upright in the boat.
My dad built a stitched wooden kayak probably 25 years ago now (!). Dunno if it was the company @taxi1 mentioned.
At any rate, I've had it out a few times when I visited, but I'll be damned if I could ever figure out how to eskimo roll. Always ended up stuck at 180 degrees AOB with freshly-cleaned sinuses . . .

In all seriousness, Lake Tahoe is awesome. To those who asked: swimming on the left coast generally requires a wet suit. That includes Lake Tahoe.
Don’t do it battle buddy! There is required mulch spreading somewhere in the fine print.
Done with mulch. Guests of Pagsistan can now look forward to a summer of Japanese beetle killing, crab grass pulling, and maybe laying some brick.
I learned how to eskimo roll when I was 11 or so. Haven’t tried in decades. You need a watertight seal in the skirt. It may be possible in a wooden kayak but I did it in the plastic/fiberglass kind.
So today in quarantine I did a 14.8 mile run, I'm slowly working myself up to a marathon.

After @Treetop Flyer comment about Mojito's on the racism thread I have switched it up.
