SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The popular Stream Profile Chamber at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center has been closed since the glass broke during a routine cleaning almost one year ago. With financial help from the Tahoe Fund and Tahoe Blue Vodka, those walking the Rainbow Trail will once again be able to get an up-close underwater view of aquatic life and the spawning Kokanee salmon at Lake Tahoe each year.
The USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is holding a grand reopening celebration of the chamber with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon on Friday, June 7.
Hundreds of students are able to connect classroom curriculum with direct experience with the local aquatic life at the chamber.
If heading out to Taylor Creek this week, expect some minor flooding on the Rainbow Trail. There are signs directing visitors to the drier portion of the trip to the Chamber.
