Lakeside Marina in South Lake Tahoe provides a convenient public boat launch and access point to the clear waters of Lake Tahoe. The marina features a paved boat ramp, making it easy to launch kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. While the marina does not offer reservable camping, there are several campgrounds within 10 miles, including options at Eagles Nest at Camp Richardson Resort and Zephyr Cove RV & Campground.
Boaters and paddlers should note that the boat ramp at Lakeside Marina will be closed on July 4, 2025, but will reopen the following day. The marina offers a full-service facility with floating docks and moorings, making it a popular choice for accessing Lake Tahoe. As one of the closest marinas to the South Lake Tahoe casino corridor, Lakeside Marina provides a practical launching point for exploring the larger Lake Tahoe basin, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service's Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
