Paddling is a fabulous way to discover Echo
Lakes and escape from the typical day-to-day
grind and savor a little peace and tranquility.
These beautiful lakes offer a diversity of
scenery and plentiful sheltered inlets to
explore. The lake’s rugged and rocky shoreline
provide only limited pullout access locations.
A wide range of outdoor recreational
activities can be enjoyed at Echo Lakes,
which in turn makes it a popular summer
destination. Echo Lakes is truly a premier
paddler’s wonderland for a summer day of
enjoyment, and it’s easy to see why. These
natural lakes are situated just south of
Lake Tahoe among granite mountain peaks
covered with fir and pine that reach to the
water’s edge. The lakes are one of the most
picturesque natural lakes found in the high
Sierra’s. The paddle distance of both the
Lower and Upper Echo Lakes is about
four-and-a-half miles round trip.
Echo
Lakes is a kayak wonderland, complete with
outstanding scenery, wildlife sightings, and
superb panoramas. Echo Lake is so far from
everything that you know, yet so close to
everything that you want in a paddling
destination.
