Supporting partners are Clark County, City of Camas, Washington State Department of Agriculture, Clark Conservation District, and the United State Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service (USDA NRCS). The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) will lead the Lacamas Creek Partnership for Clean Water. To develop this plan, the Lacamas Creek Partnership will work collaboratively with local, state, federal, and tribal governments, non-profits, watershed groups, and private landowners to develop and implement a Water Cleanup Plan, focused on implementation of best management practices (BMPs) for water quality. The Lacamas Creek watershed is on Washington State's polluted waters list for warm water temperatures, bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and pH impairments, which drives the need to develop a Water Cleanup Plan.

Cold Water – Defined as water that is 70 degrees and below.You only have this time if you are wearing a life jacket. Hypothermia – Even in ice water, it could take about 1 hour before losing consciousness.Swim Failure – You only have about 10 minutes of strength in your arms and legs for self-rescue.You have approximately 1 minute to get your breathing under control. Cold Water Shock – This can cause a powerful gasp reflex when entering the water.File a float plan – leave it with a friend or familyīOAT SMART: KNOW THE DANGERS OF COLD WATER AT LAKE TAHOE.Don’t drink alcohol while operating a boat.Check the weather forecast for wind conditions.Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature.We encourage everyone to please review the following safety precautions before recreating on Lake Tahoe.īOAT SAFE: PREPARE FOR COLD WATER AT LAKE TAHOE We respond to numerous water emergencies on the lake not just during the summer months but throughout the year. Typically, the water temperature in June ranges from 50 to 64 degrees. As the winter runoff continues to melt and make its way to the lake, the water temperature will fluctuate. Currently, the water temperature of Lake Tahoe is 55.2 degrees. It is also a good idea to check the red flag warning status. Whether boating, jet skiing, kayaking, rafting, paddleboarding, or swimming, it is beneficial to inform yourself about the colder temperature of Lake Tahoe and how it can affect you. It is also the second deepest lake in the United States and because of this, the temperatures remain lower than most lakes in our region year-round. We all know the temperature of Lake Tahoe is a bit colder than most since it is an Alpine lake. Summer is here and while we are all ready to take the plunge into Lake Tahoe, it is a good time to review a few summer water safety tips first.
