Forest Service announces the opening data for recreational sites of the Taoe -Lake

South Lake Tahoe, California – Spring is a time of transition to the mountains. Snow melts and the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is preparing to open the National Forest recreation locations in the Lake Tahoe basin for the summer season.

Before residual locations are accessible to the public, locations have to be cleaned up after the snow melted, safety risks such as dead or damaged trees have to be removed, and the risk of freezing must go before the toilet water systems are switched on. All opening data can be changed due to conditions and weather.
