Stand Up Paddleboarding on Horseshoe Lake

Do you have Paddleboarding Experiences you'd like to share? Find out How!

  • Horseshoe Lake is a perfect lake for beginners to hone their paddleboarding skills. The water level varies wildly from spring to fall and from year to year; in dry seasons, especially late summer or fall, be prepared for a long hike down the sandy beach from the parking area to the water. Horseshoe is more protected from wind than other lakes in the Basin, but you'll always find the glassiest water early in the morning. The beach here is also a popular dog play area – bring your pet and let him/her ride or swim alongside your board!
