Nevada may be known for its nightlife and casinos, but did you know there is a wealth of opportunity for thrilling water recreation, too? Home to giant lakes just waiting to be traversed, the day will fly by as you have the time of your life. Get your heart pumping at these five exciting jet skiing spots in the state!
The Colorado River provides ample space and opportunity to jet ski around Laughlin, Nevada. Bring your own jet ski or rent one from the nearby Watercraft Adventures. With seven locations, you’re sure to run into one sooner or later.
Walker Lake near Hawthorne, Nevada, is another great spot to load up and get on the water. Between Reno and Las Vegas, the lake is 12.7-miles-long and five miles-wide. Strict boating regulations are enforced on the lake, including no boating at the south end or within a 100-yard radius of the Rose Creek. But keep the regulations in mind, and you’re sure to have a bang-up time.
Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States, is a perfect jet ski destination. Just 38 miles outside of Las Vegas, the lake boasts calm waters for around 247 square-miles. Skiwi Rentals is available for all of your jet ski rental needs, including towing vehicles.
Lake Tahoe, along the California and Nevada state lines, has a surface elevation of over 6,000 feet and is the largest alpine lake in North America. The lake attracts winter and summer sports fans. In addition to jet skiing, paddleboarding and parasailing are also popular. Check out Action Watersports for rentals!
