Seasonal closures apply to national forest roads and buildings, restrooms and parking areas at many recreation sites including beaches, campgrounds, interpretive sites, picnic areas and resorts.

Pending all required approvals, prescribed fire operations continue as conditions and weather allow. Prescribed fires help reduce overgrown vegetation to protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires.

Popular outdoor winter activities at Lake Tahoe include skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snow-shoeing, sledding and much more!
