The gates have closed to Van Sickle Bi-State Park in South Lake Tahoe, but the grounds will remain open for the public to enjoy year-round.
The California Tahoe Conservancy announced the closure today and wants to remind park users that when the gates close, services such as water, restrooms and trash collection are not available.
Fall and winter park users are reminded to park legally and not to block the gate, and to pack out your garbage so the park can remain clean for all others to follow, and to protect the wildlife.
Paid parking is available at the Heavenly Village parking garage and at the shopping center(who currently offers a $5 per day pass).
Van Sickle Bi-State Park offers great opportunities for short day use outings, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just having fun in the snow; however, sledding is not allowed.
“Van Sickle Bi-State Park provides a fantastic recreational opportunity in
close proximity to tourist core of South Lake Tahoe,” said California Tahoe
Conservancy Executive Director Patrick Wright. “We encourage the public
to enjoy this beautiful Park throughout the year.”
The Park entrance is located at the intersection of Heavenly Village Way
and Montreal Road in South Lake Tahoe. For more information about Van
