Watershed Restoration Program Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
Phase five of the Third and Incline Creek Restoration addressed the fish barrier on Incline Creek on the Golf course. The drop leaving the culvert was over 3 feet and restricted upper watershed migration and eroded the banks. The culvert was also past its useful life and in disrepair. This fish barrier improvement allows spring and fall aquatic migration. Migration from the mouth of Lake Tahoe through the previously completed restoration sites increased access to upper watershed habitat by several miles.
