Cave Rock Water Quality Improvement Project

Over the past few years, the Cave Rock unit of Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park has experienced a high level of unauthorized walk-in visitor use and user-created trails have led to severe slope erosion and sediment runoff above the beach area at the southern end of the Park. This project will prevent walk-in visitor access through temporary and long-term fencing, and repair existing erosion through a mix of slope stabilization and revegetation. The project will also assess the existing Tahoe yellow cress (TYC) enclosure in the Park for possible relocation or expansion to protect the sensitive habitat from human use.
