INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Travel North Tahoe Nevada (TNTNV), a leading advocate for outdoor adventure and recreation in the North Lake Tahoe area, is taking proactive steps to enhance winter safety and access by funding snow removal at the East Shore Trail parking lot with Park Tahoe® operated by the Tahoe Transportation District (TTD). This funding ensures visitors can park safely and access the trail without resorting to parking along the narrow two-lane State Route 28.
With heavy winter snow recently, TNTNV is covering the costs for service for the plowing contracted through TTD at the East Short Trail Parking Lot #1, one of the busiest recreation trails in North Lake Tahoe. TNTNV is fully covering the service costs, with previously allocated funds for winter plowing and will continue to do so as storms dictate, ensuring safe access to the area’s trail network so all can enjoy responsible winter recreation.
“Winter on the East Shore Trail is a highlight for so many residents and visitors,” said Andy Chapman, President and CEO of Travel North Tahoe Nevada. “With the recent snowfall, totaling over 60 inches in some areas, ensuring safe, accessible parking is greatly important to us. By directly funding snow removal at East Shore, we’re doing our part to help people enjoy winter recreation safely while keeping the highway clear of unsafe road conditions.”
“This partnership reflects what we can accomplish when public and private organizations align around a shared goal,” said Jim Marino, Executive Director of the Tahoe Transportation District. “Efficiently clearing parking reduces unsafe roadside parking and supports responsible use, helping both residents and visitors enjoy Tahoe throughout the winter months.”
Those eager to explore the East Shore Trail, particularly if venturing into the backcountry, are advised to exercise caution, as the trails may not be cleared by State Parks during winter months. TNTNV encourages all trail users to exercise caution, follow safety guidelines, and take responsibility for their safety. Visitors are also reminded to practice “Pack it in, pack it out” principles by properly disposing of all trash and leaving no trace. Signage provided by the State Parks is strategically placed along the trail, promoting awareness and emphasizing the need for safe and clean practices during winter conditions.
Travel North Tahoe Nevada invites all to enjoy the East Shore Trail responsibly and enjoy winter in Lake Tahoe safely.
