SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The California Tahoe Conservancy will begin the final stage of work they’ve been doing to improve a trail along Cove East to Lake Tahoe at the Upper Truckee Marsh on September 12.
The unpaved, shared-use trail runs approximately a half mile from the east end of Venice Drive to a beach at Lake Tahoe. The Conservancy will close the trail temporarily during active construction.
The trail improvements are one component of the Conservancy’s nearly complete Upper Truckee Marsh Restoration Project. This will be the first and only time that visitors have a temporary loss of lake access due to the project, despite extensive active construction in recent summers. Trail construction may last up to three weeks. When complete, the new trail will be more durable and will be fully accessible to all users. By staying on trails and observing all closures, visitors can help protect sensitive wildlife habitats at the Upper Truckee Marsh.
