What runs deeper than Lake Tahoe? Our desire to preserve it.
It’s not too late to celebrate mom with a trout, bear, or her name on the East Shore Trail. Donate $100 or more in your favorite mom’s name and she will be listed on the new donor wall. Engraved bears and trout are also still available. For more information, visit: Tahoe East Shore Trail.

According to the scientists at the United States Geographical Survey, three major fault lines run beneath Lake Tahoe. The West Tahoe Fault is the largest of the three and defines the West Shore of the lake while the Incline Village and Stateline faults run through Incline and into the Lake. Last Sunday, Tahoe experienced a 3.9 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake hit nearly dead center in the middle of Tahoe and was felt by thousands. Did you feel it?!

Donations support the Tahoe Fund’s efforts to improve the Tahoe environment for all to enjoy
TAHOE CITY, Calif. (DATE, 2021) – Building new trails. Maintaining existing ones. Creating healthier forests. Supporting programs that get more kids outdoors. Helping to take care of Tahoe. Encouraging greater stewardship. The Tahoe Fund’s $1 for Tahoe program is making a big difference by offering a way to give back to Lake Tahoe one dollar at a time. Guest driven donations, collected by partner resorts, restaurants and other local businesses, have now surpassed the one million dollar mark.
“We are blown away by the support local businesses and their patrons have shown for Lake Tahoe,” said Amy Berry, Tahoe Fund CEO. “This milestone shows how small acts of kindness of just $1 can have a huge impact. We are beyond grateful to our business partners for helping us collect these donations.”
The $1 for Tahoe program was started to harness the passion of visitors and residents to help care for Tahoe’s extraordinary environment. Participating local businesses collect dollars from their guests through their purchases of lift tickets, hotel accommodations, food and drink, and other items. Donations collected are then contributed to the Tahoe Fund’s efforts to support hiking and biking trails, watershed restoration projects, environmental stewardship programs and so much more.
“I am proud that Vail Resorts has been a supporter of the Tahoe Fund since its onset and I look forward to our continued partnership,” said Deirdra Walsh, vice president and general manager of Northstar California Resort. “Guests who visit Heavenly, Northstar, and Kirkwood have the opportunity to donate through a variety of ways, and we provide those contributions to the Tahoe Fund. We’re fortunate to operate within the Tahoe Basin and support all efforts to preserve our wonderful natural environment.”
