Nevada Division of State Parks is asking for the public’s input on the development of a new Sand Harbor State Park Master Plan. Annual visitation to Sand Harbor State Park has increased 250 percent over the last 10 years, from 365,000 in 2012 to 1.27 million in 2023. A new master plan at Sand Harbor will allow park managers to respond to the drastically changing conditions and visitation.
A master-plan story map and survey have been launched to provide essential information on the planning effort. After evaluating the survey results, the planning team will assess the park’s desired conditions. These insights will inform the creation of a draft redesign and several alternative proposals, which will be unveiled in the next phase of the planning process.
The public survey will close on Sept. 15. The master plan is scheduled to be completed by June 2025. Nevada Division of State Parks, in partnership with the Nevada Tahoe Resource Team, is anticipating moving into the design phase in summer 2025. | parks.nv.gov
