SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The annual closure of the Upper Truckee Marsh to dogs is underway and will last through July 31. Each year the California Tahoe Conservancy closes the marsh to dogs, both on and off-leash, to protect sensitive habitats for birds and other wildlife during breeding season.
The Conservancy-owned Cove East property, west of the Upper Truckee River, remains open for year-round leashed dog access. Beginning August 1, dogs will again be permitted access to the Upper Truckee Marsh, provided they are on leash.
Conservancy staff and California Highway Patrol officers monitor these areas for compliance.
The Conservancy owns and manages the 600-acre marsh, one of the largest remaining in the Sierra Nevada, for the protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat and water quality. The Conservancy is also currently managing the Upper Truckee Marsh Restoration Project in the same area.
