The 2012 Tahoe Only, Tahoe In & Out and 7-day passes are currently available for purchase at Cave Rock and Lake Forest boat launches. Sand Harbor boat launch is only selling Tahoe Only stickers. In 2012 we are transitioning to a calendar year for our annual inspection stickers, but all 2011 Tahoe Only and Tahoe In & Out stickers will be accepted until APRIL 30, 2012.
Remember to Clean, Drain and Dry your boat every time you change bodies of water. ~JB
You can sign up to be a Tahoe Keeper and help protect the waters of the Tahoe Region from aquatic invasive species. Please visit http://tahoekeepers.org for more information.
The new web site offers instructions on how to properly Clean, Drain, and Dry watercraft and gear after each use, and properly Dispose of any plants or debris away from lakes and streams. Taking these few minutes before and after paddling will help protect Lake Tahoe, your gear, and your freedom to launch at undeveloped sites. Paddlers are encouraged to spread the word to other paddlers about the Clean, Drain and Dry method and to join the Tahoe Keepers stewardship community.
The Cave Rock, Sand Harbor and Lake Forest launch ramps will be closed on Sunday Christmas Day (12/25/2011) & Sunday New Years Day (1/1/2012). No inspections or decontaminations will be available on either of these days. Private facilities, such as the Tahoe Keys Marina, Obexer’s, or Ski Beach may be open and should be contacted directly for hours of operation. Please be advised that these private launch ramps/marinas will only launch wire-sealed boats. Please plan accordingly.
We apologize for any inconveniences.
Beginning December 1, 2011, the Sand Harbor launch ramp days and hours of operation will be changing. These changes will be in effect from 12/1/11-3/31/12.
Come learn about efforts to protect Lake Tahoe and Truckee water bodies from Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) on November 16th in Kings Beach.

The last day for roadside inspection stations was Friday 9/30/11. Sealed boats should continue to the launch facility of your choice.
Inspections and decontaminations will be available at Cave Rock and Lake Forest during the winter. Inspections only at Sand Harbor.
As of October 1, 2011, Sand Harbor’s boat ramp will be open Thursday through Monday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Cave Rock’s launch hours will be open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. These winter hours will be in effect until April 30, 2012. Lake Forest Boat Launch will be open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Now with five roadside inspection stations and new high-efficiency decontamination equipment, all boats without an intact Tahoe inspection seal will be directed to the roadside locations to speed up launch times at the ramps.
