CODIV MEASURES

We would be lying if we tell you that the "moral" process of putting on the event was easy, the concerns with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of humanity were nothing but challenging.

We are so excited to welcome you and give you the opportunity to challenge yourselves because competitions don't just create winners and success stories. It builds strong personalities, resilience, and determination, a sense of humor, and humility, skills that will make us stronger navigating the waters in the coming months. We have taken safety measures with an early start time and we have reduced our participant capacity. Needless to say, Tahoe Waterman / Watermans Landing is taking many precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19

With COVID Measure changing rapidly, we thank you for your patience as we are consistently revising our COVID guideline following the County and California Governors directions in the effort to protect our community’s health and allow all businesses to re-open. Watermans is offering outdoor activities with takeaway food services, and top priority is the physical, mental, and financial health of your employees, our guests, and our community while maintaining our company’s viability.

We revised our COVID policy as of July 13th, 2020, and would like to inform you of our latest measure for Tahoe Paddle Racing.

Health and safety is our top priority. If you are choosing to attend our race you obviously love and value nature and your mental health. Our biome & immune response is ENHANCED by our interaction with nature... that includes other humans!

FACE COVERING

Face covering is worn by our staff if they can’t stay 6 feet away from another human. The staff at Waterman's will remove its face covering to convey safety measures clearly. The staff at Watermans is required to remove its face covering while instructing on/in the water and while performing a water rescue. Watermans is strongly recommending guests to wear face-covering while indoors in our establishment to comply with our Governor’s and placer County’s request. We continue to encourage our guests to choose what’s best for them and your family please communicate with our staff of your preferences.

While cloth face coverings are said to be a critical preventive measure and are most essential in times when social distancing is difficult. Face coverings should not be used for the following activities offered at Waterman's:

Guests at Waterman's should not wear cloth face coverings while engaged in activities that may cause the cloth face covering to become wet, like when paddling a watercraft and swimming at the beach. A wet cloth face covering may make it difficult to breathe. For activities like swimming and paddling, it is particularly important to maintain physical distance from others when in the water.
Guests who are engaged in high-intensity activities, like paddling, may not be able to wear a cloth face covering if it causes difficulty breathing. Paddling on the lake is considered an activity in a location with greater ventilation and air exchange and where it is possible to maintain physical distance from others.
Guests who are seated (outdoors) at Waterman's while they are eating or drinking, provided that they are able to maintain a distance of at least six feet away from persons who are not members of the same household or residence.

WHAT ELSE YOU CAN YOU DO IN LAKE TAHOE

HIKING

Home to miles upon miles of breathtaking Sierra Nevada wilderness, hiking and exploring trails on foot is one of the best ways to access the untouched beauty of North Lake Tahoe.

If you’re looking for a little uphill assistance, check out Northstar California for a gondola ride up the mountain to the perfect picnic spot along with a variety of easily accessible hiking trails, or The Village at Squaw Valley where you can climb over 2,000’ on the Aerial Tram with 360° views of Lake Tahoe and the High Sierra.

And for those looking for some extra adventure, explore Squaw Valley’s most iconic rock face, The Tram Face, on the all-new Tahoe Via Ferrata routes operated by local guide service, Alpenglow Expeditions.

BIKING

Lake Tahoe biking offers up some of the best views of North Lake Tahoe. Best seen on two wheels, choose from miles upon miles of road biking paths, to nationally-rated mountain biking trails offering panoramic views of the Lake.

The Northstar California Bike Park leads the gravity-born downhill, cross-country and freeride industry with the largest, lift-served bike park on the West Coast. Having nearly 60 percent beginner and intermediate trails, the park is ideal for learning and growing while more advanced trails, like the iconic Livewire, offer experienced riders a range of technical challenges and a smooth flow.

Or experience the renowned 14-mile Flume Trail’s breathtaking lake views. Although those afraid of heights be forewarned, the ride taking place at 7,000’ to 8,000’ in elevation with over 1,000’ of climbing in the first four miles is truly exhilarating.
