Admire the Lake
When enjoying Lake Tahoe, secure your belongings and snack wrappers to prevent littering. Before leaving, scan your area to ensure no trash is left behind. Dispose of waste properly in trash or recycling bins to help preserve the lake's beauty.
Track Your Trash
Secure all food and scented items like sunscreen while camping or at the beach. Use food lockers or provided trash bins. Avoid burning trash in campfires, as it releases harmful toxins. Always extinguish fires completely by drowning and stirring them.
While in Transit
Keep track of your belongings, including wrappers, while on the M.S. Dixie II or shuttle. Check your area before leaving and dispose of waste properly in trash or recycling bins.
Protect the Sights
Stay on designated paths and respect fences and rock walls. These barriers protect you and the fragile natural resources of Lake Tahoe's stunning surroundings.
