SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The California Tahoe Conservancy has temporarily closed multiple high-use Conservancy properties for public safety. The Conservancy intends these closures to complement similar temporary closures of National Forest Lands to protect the public and firefighters during this time of unprecedented and historic fire conditions.
Temporarily closed sites include:
- Van Sickle Bi-State Park (includes both California and Nevada sides of the park)
- Eagle Rock
- Conservancy land at Elks Club Road
- Dollar Property in Placer County
The Conservancy said it will continue to coordinate with the USFS Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and other Basin partners to evaluate the public safety risk and will update its land closures as necessary.
They are encouraging all members of the public to use caution and common sense to help avoid sparking a wildfire and to avoid recreating on any public lands from which a wildfire evacuation would be challenging.
