The 10 most beautiful destinations to SUP in America

The shimmering Lake Tahoe (beautiful blue and green), is the USA’s second-deepest lake and, at 6255ft high, it is also one of the highest-elevation lakes in the country. Driving around the spellbinding 72-mile scenic shoreline will give you quite a workout behind the wheel. However, to jump on your SUP and discover the lake from the water will make your jaws drop. Generally, the north shore is quiet and upscale; the west shore is rugged and rough. The east shore is undeveloped and the south shore is busy and a bit tacky if you ask us. Experience the transition of all these different surroundings in silence and don’t forget to make some pics. 
 

Coronado is a true resort city located in San Diego County, California. It’s connected to the mainland by a tombolo called the Silver Strand. And exactly this spot is a great way to start your SUP-adventure. Did you know the director of the laboratory for coastal research ranked Coronado Beach as the best beach in the USA? A must-see!

The town of Hood River is one of the best windsurfing, SUP-, watersports and kiteboarding destinations in the world! WOW!

Covering the southern 5 miles of South Padre Island, South Padre Island has a soft and sunny climate. Therefore, the water is warm for much of the year, the beaches are clean and the easy-going locals are ready to welcome every tourist!

As the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake is a foil to the hub of Estes Park. The super charming downtown historic district has a number of nice cafes for your SUP-break. Don’t forget to buy a corny souvenir! The namesake lake – with a yacht club founded in 1901 – is deep-blue and glorious, and offers lots of bed and breakfasts if you want to go on a more-day SUP-tour.

Florida is different. Florida is easy-going. Here you find people who want to enjoy life and enjoy their banana-cocktail even more. Don’t forget to stop SUPping every few 100 meters to visit one of the sandbar-island where the sun melts over the green mangroves. The water is as teal as Arizona turquoise and invites for a good swim too.

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is the inverse geographic feature! A dark, narrow gash above the Gunnison River leads down a 2000ft chasm is seriously spectacular to see from your SUP. Try SUPping here only if you are an experience SUPper and in for an adventure. The fast-moving water is powerful. Without the upstream dams, the river carry five times its current volume!

Did you know in the 1960s the construction of a massive dam flooded Glen Canyon, forming Lake Powell, a recreational playground. Almost 50 years later this is still an environmental hot-button topic, but generations of Western families have grown up boating here. This lake is perfect for waterskiing- and other watersports like SUPping. Water laps against stunning cliffs that rise hundreds of feet; narrow channels make SUPping here feel like a true adventure.

For most, any trip to the Empire State starts or finishes in its iconic metropolis: New York City! However, if you were to confine your travels only to its five boroughs and a little beyond, you'd be missing out big time! Discovering New York from its surrounding waters is such a cool experience, which can’t be beaten by a frappucino in the nearby cool-people bar.
