Warmer weather and the holiday weekend brought a lot of people outside to Lake Tahoe on Sunday.
Many people took the time to relax and take part in some of their favorite outdoor activities.Â
"We wanted to enjoy the weather, so we went out. We've been to a few lakes and a few creeks, trying to catch some fish, that's what we are doing right now," said Myson Pegany.
Many other people took the opportunity to get on the water with boats, jet skis, and kayaks.
Because of that, the United States Forest Service wants to remind people of some safety tips.
They always advise that people wear a life jacket while in the lake, especially because cold water shock is still a real risk.
The agency also wants people to not leave trash or debris behind, as it can be harmful to the lake and wildlife.
Some families we spoke with today added that this weekend is allowing them to spend much-needed time with their loved ones.
"I don't get much time off, I work 50 hours a week, so it is nice to actually get out and spend time. I'm gone at five in the morning and don't get home until 5:30 in the afternoon so I don't have much family time on the weekdays," said Daniel Richtik.
As a reminder, Lake Tahoe is a lot busier than usual during Memorial Day Weekend, so if you do plan on visiting on Monday, it could be a good idea to leave earlier in the morning.
