New fire restrictions in place

The U.S. Forest Service announced that enhanced fire restrictions are in effect on National Forest lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin through the end of December 2023. This means that wood and charcoal fires are prohibited in Blackwood Canyon, Luther Pass and Watson Lake campgrounds. Portable stoves are allowed with a valid permit. Enhanced fire restrictions also apply to smoking, operating off-highway vehicles and welding. | (530) 543-2600, fs.usda.gov
