PLEASE RECREATE RESPONSIBLY OVER INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND

7/1/2020

0 Comments

 



Nevada City, Calif. — For over 115 years, the Tahoe National Forest’s alpine lakes, deep canyons, shady forests, towering mountains, and rushing rivers have provided an ideal backdrop to celebrate Independence Day. This weekend will be no different with record crowds expected to begin arriving on Thursday.
 
“We’ve definitely noticed a higher volume of visitors so far this summer,” said Eli Ilano, Tahoe National Forest Supervisor. “Perhaps now more than ever, the mountains are calling, and the Tahoe National Forest is proud to offer a wide range of recreational opportunities. But we also need our visitors, now more than ever, to practice responsible recreation.”
 
Responsible recreation means no fireworks on National Forest lands – they are strictly prohibited. The Tahoe National Forest is also in campfire restrictions. Campfires outside of developed recreation sites, such as official campgrounds with fire rings, are forbidden. Fire restriction patrols will be conducted over Independence Day weekend; punishment could mean up to $5,000 in fines or imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both.
 
Additional tips to recreate responsibly:
 
  • Most campgrounds have been 90% reserved. First-come, first-serve campsites are expected to be filled by Thursday morning – please plan accordingly.
    • Emerald Cove Marina at Bullards Bar is expected to reach capacity by Friday afternoon. You may be turned away as parking will be unavailable.
    • Robinsons Flat campground is still closed due to safety concerns.
  • Select safe parking locations along Bowman Lake road – do not block the road and ensure space for emergency vehicle passage. Vehicles blocking the road may be cited or towed.
  • Maintain at least six feet distancing from others.
  • Do not gather in groups and please follow the latest guidance from officials.
  • Communicate with others and alert trail users of your presence to pass safely.
  • Pack out your trash and leave with everything you bring in and use.
