Van Sickle Bi-State Park entrance road and facilities closing for winter; Grounds remain open

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The California Tahoe Conservancy announced on Wednesday that roads and visitor facilities at Van Sickle Bi-State Park will close for the winter season on November 13. Park grounds will remain open to the public.

The Conservancy and Nevada State Parks co-manage the 725-acre Van Sickle Bi-State Park. The park provides day-use opportunities for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. For visitor safety, sledding is not allowed.

The winter season closure includes park roads, parking lots, restrooms, drinking fountains, and trash collection. During winter, please practice Leave No Trace, pack out all trash, and park legally outside the park, without blocking gates.

Winter visitors may access the park on foot, bike, skis, or snowshoes via its main entrance at the intersection of Heavenly Village Way and Montreal Road in South Lake Tahoe.

The Conservancy will also close the parking lot at its Tahoe Pines property in Meyers. The grounds will remain open to foot traffic all winter.
