We were trying to find the perfect spot to take our 7yr old fishing. Since we were staying on the north shore, it was a 1hr drive to get here. We drove here on a whim and it worked out. FREE parking. Low key. Mellow. Not crazy busy. Secluded feeling. Plenty of shade. Pets on leash welcome. Nice outhouses. We saw a bear at the pond just 40 yards in front of us. August 2026. He was minding his own business. Everyone was very friendly and shared their worms with us. We didn't catch anything but that's okay. We had fun. We spent 3.5hrs there all for free. Better than blowing money at an arcade.

Looking to get your kids out fishing? This is a great spot outside the hustle and bustle of SLT…read morewhere you can find a bit of quiet and a good opportunity to catch fish for the youngins. I discovered this pond last summer and am so glad I did. My kids (5, and 8) have taken some sincere interest in fishing and Sawmill was the perfect place to teach them some basics. There's a large parking lot and easy access to the shoreline of the pond with some quality shade opportunities to fish from. During the weekday afternoon we were there, the traffic was light and we had a lot of choices on where to fit. Sadly the time of day probably didn't help us get bites, but we had some chances to catch and a lot of quality time together. I imagine if you hit this on the right day near a stocking, the bite could get hot and really hook a kid on fishing. This is a great community resource that is largely frequented by locals. It presents a good opportunity to get your kids out fishing and I highly recommend you get it on your radar for a future visit.

The husband‑and‑wife team working that evening completely turned our experience around. They mentioned they had moved to Tahoe from LA and had a few daughters, and both were incredibly kind and welcoming. The gentleman went above and beyond, bringing out new reels, adjusting our setup, and personally coaching my wife with patience. Thanks to his effort, she caught her very first fish, and it absolutely made her day! We left with huge smiles and a wonderful memory. Tahoe Trout Farm has amazing people who truly care about their guests. Highly recommend!

Fishing rods and bait are provided or you can also bring your own fishing rods. We were able to catch 3 of them and cleaning them was done by the staff ( you have option of getting it fillet).

The whole experience was relaxing, fun, and especially exciting for my nephew. Definitely a great activity to do with family, and we'd love to come back again!

We saw snow filled mountains, a pair of bald eagles, crystal clear water, and were lucky enough to land a few fish on a tough day of fishing for most. Justin has tons of experience and knowledge and is just a really down to earth and cool guy. It was like having a buddy of yours take you around the lake. I would highly recommend this company and especially Captain Justin if you want to see tahoe from a different perspective and catch some fish while you are at it! You can also bring your catch to Macduff's Pub and they'll cook your catch up to three different ways for $39.99 per person.

My significant other wanted to go fishing, but the place he found on Yelp was completely booked on…read morethe dates that we would be in Lake Tahoe. My significant other asked if there was another company that would be recommended, and that's how we found Captain Kombiz at Lake Tahoe Fishing. Captain Kombiz helped us catch a 11lb, 9lb, and 7lb Lake Mackinaw (Lake Trout) fishes. No joke! We stayed at an AirBnB place, and the next door neighbor who was also a fisherman thought we were joking. We had to show him the 3 fishes and proceeded to ask us a million questions on how Captain Kombiz was able to catch fish that size. Haha. You won't regret it! Support small businesses! ENJOY!

Caught 1 fish 5 minutes after the line dropped and had all of our fish by 9am. The sunrise was beautiful and my 15 year old son had a good time catching his first big fish. As if the experience wasn't enough, we were given the recommendation to go to MacDuffs Pub to have our fish cooked. I would HIGHLY suggest this to anyone whether or not you are a fishing person. Follow the fish with the bread pudding and make sure you get in a repeat fishing excursion.

The booking process and attention Lyndsay gave with feedback and answering questions was professional and quick. We appreciated the honesty and couldn't have asked for better value in the investment of these memories made! Both charters we were lucky enough to have Captain Heather. When we went out with the kids, she was very patient and kind in helping them learn how to wakeboard. The water was a bit choppy that day, but Captain Heather was gracious enough to find the best possible spots for the kids to have fun! She gave some fun facts as we passed by various locations. When we went out again several days later with our friends, we were happy to have the same level of professionalism and FUN with Captain Heather. She really meshed with our group's vibe and offered us a fun mix of enjoying site-seeing, wakeboarding & tubing, and even a quick stop in at Chamber's Landing! I would absolutely recommend Lake Tahoe Boat Rides and will most definitely book with them again. Thank you to Lyndsay & Heather for being a part of these memories created!!!

Lake Tahoe Boat Rides is where it's at! By far the best private charter company around South Lake…read moreTahoe. After we called around all other businesses, such as this, we realized that Lake Tahoe boat rides was the most professional and upfront about their prices. Many companies didn't let me know that fuel and captain fees would be tacked on at after the ride as well as a certain gratuity. Sneaky! Once we arrived at Lake Tahoe, Boat Rides, Lindsay, the owner and everyone else was super friendly and helpful. They have a store with food/drinks, towels etc.. but they tell you in advance that you can pick it up elsewhere. They helped us carry our bags over to the perfectly clean and well maintained boat complete with our own captain who was incredible!!!!! Ask for Steve-O!!!! I do believe no matter who you get as a captain that you will have an amazing experience as we did. Steve-O was friendly and great with our 4 1/2 year-old. He provided just the right amount of history and information as we rode along and also took us to less touristy places that were also beautiful and so worth seeing. We cannot wait to come back and see Lake Tahoe boat rides next summer, and we will definitely be asking for Steve-O.

The campground is 5stars, the best. Not too thrilled with the hosts this year, new group this year…read more I did not have any personal issues with them, but they were the grumpiest I've experienced their. I have been going to this campground for over 50 yrs, of course there weren't hosts back then, but they could be a bit more friendly. Last year,especially, they were great. Would also like to add, the hosts are not running it well. Come up to station after coming back from Kiva. There was 5 trailers deep, they had a cone in the bypass lane. Y??? Every one had to wait. Again, unnecessary

First time staying at this campground and we loved it! Most of the campground is pretty shaded…read morewhich was so nice. We didn't need to put up any shade structures at our site. Everyone was very friendly. The campsite is very level and perfect for riding bikes. The bathrooms have real toilets and showers and we're pretty clean. We loved our stay! The only weird thing is that we purchased a parking pass for the parking lot to be closer to the lake since we had kayaks to bring in. The lady that sold us the pass told us that she sells unlimited passes, despite there only being about 20 spots. We asked if that meant that even though we purchase a spot, does that mean there's a possibility of not getting a spot? And she said yes! I don't understand this method of selling parking passes. They should find a better way otherwise they are just taking peoples money for no reason... we bought a pass at 7:30 am and went up to the lot at 9am and we got one of the last spots. That's a big bummer for anyone else buying a pass.
