So glad you’re here! Here are eight insider tips to help you do everything you want to do in Tahoe:
- DRINK TAHOE TAP™
No need to buy bottled water. Tahoe Tap is the world’s best. Literally. We win awards. Fill and refill your reusable bottles all day. - BE #1 AT PICKING UP #2
If it’s your dog, then it’s your doody. If left behind, your cute pet’s waste drains into the lake and grows horrible monsters. - NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR DIRTY BUTT
Cigarettes leach toxic chemicals into Tahoe. Please keep your butts from touching the ground. - TRASH BELONGS IN THE CAN
What happens in Tahoe shouldn’t stay in Tahoe. Wherever you are, trash or recycling cans are never far. - YOU GONNA EAT THAT?
Human food hurts wildlife. Protect our wild animals by locking trash in bear-proof bins. - SMILE FOR MILES
These are nice trails. Blaze a trail of kindness with other hikers, bikers, dogs, and horses. - PRACTICE SAFE CAMPING
If you loved your campfire, give it a big wet one. No fire is out until fully extinguished with water. - LOOK WHAT THE CRAFT DRAGGED IN
Boat inspections aren’t just fun, they’re mandatory. Bring your boat clean, drained, and dry.
The Tahoe Citizen Science web app was developed by the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC). UC Davis TERC is a global leader in research, education, and public outreach on lakes. TERC provides critical scientific information to help understand, restore, and sustain the Lake Tahoe Basin and other systems worldwide.
