Overview

Basics

Basics
This project will update the current trails plan for the park. The primary goal of this project is to move non-motorized users off the parks service roads and improve connectivity to the backcountry trail system. A planning firm will be utilized to complete a resource assessment of the project area. The resource assessment will identify wildlife, water quality, forest health, and historical resource concerns. The team will utilize the resource assessment to identify possible trail corridors for trail construction or improvements. New trail corridors that meet the project goal will then receive further environmental review and trail construction documents will be produced.

01/09/2024 8:49 AM Kevin Fromherz This project is an update to the Spooner Lake and Backcountry Master Plan. The goal of the project is update the master plan and create sustainable trail connections to the greater Tahoe and Carson Trail systems. The project was just awarded the final funding source from NV State Parks recreation trails grant. This allows the project team to incorporate the 6,832 acres of state managed lands that are located outside the Tahoe Basin but have an impact on the Tahoe Basin. The goal is to release an RFP to complete this update during the Spring of 2024.
