TAHOE NATIONAL FOREST UPDATE: Motorized Roads and Trails

4/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Nevada City, Calif. – All motorized roads and trails across the Tahoe National Forest will open on May 1, 2020.  Trash removal services are unavailable at this time and toilet facilities are still closed. Please plan accordingly and pack out all trash and human waste. Thank you for helping to keep the Tahoe National Forest safe and clean, and for preventing further restrictions by recreating responsibly. Happy riding!
 
The following conditions apply at these popular riding areas:
The Downieville multiple-use trail system will still have moderate to heavy snow in higher elevations (much like every year) and connection routes to higher elevations will be impassable.
 
The westside of the Burlington Motorcycle Trail system has favorable soil moisture conditions and is actively being cleared of down winter trees.
 
The Sugar Pine OHV system has favorable soil moisture conditions and is actively being cleared of down winter trees. Additionally:
  • Parker and Sugar Pine staging areas are open for day-use only. Overnight camping is not permitted at these staging areas at this time.
  • The Brimstone staging area is closed.
  • Be aware of down winter trees. Tahoe National Forest trail crews should have most Sugar Pine OHV system trails cleared by the upcoming weekend, but the potential for down winter trees may exist on some remote and outlier routes.
 
The Boca/ Stampede OHV system has favorable soil moisture conditions and is actively being cleared of down winter trees.
  • Please tread lightly on north-facing trails and in higher elevations.
 
The Bear Valley OHV system has favorable soil moisture conditions and is actively being cleared of down winter trees.
  • Please tread lightly on north-facing trails and in higher elevations.
