LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) has rescinded the enhanced fire restrictions on National Forest Lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Wood and charcoal fires are once again allowed in Blackwood Canyon, Luther Pass and Watson Lake undeveloped campgrounds with valid permits.
The latest round of funding through the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act includes more than $3 million for projects to help reduce wildfire risk in Lake Tahoe communities.
National Forest trails, trailheads, beaches and other day-use areas in the Lake Tahoe Basin have now reopened for day-use only as of Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020. Camping and overnight stays will not be permitted, and campgrounds will remain closed. Resorts will reopen for day-use only. Emergency Fire Restrictions will remain in effect through Nov.
