Give the Gift of Tahoe

May 7, 2025 by Caroline Waldman

Looking for the perfect present for your loved one? You can give the gift of Tahoe by purchasing engraved bear or trout plaques. 

The Tahoe Fund offers personalized trout plaques on the iconic East Shore Trail and bear plaques in Heritage Plaza and along SR 28 in Tahoe City. You can also add a name to the donor wall at the start of the East Shore Trail.

East Shore Trail

On the iconic East Shore Trail, we have trout plaques available for purchase. You can also add your name to our donor wall with a contribution of $100 or more. Be sure to make your contribution before September 1, 2025 to be included on the next donor wall!

Proceeds will support the next section of the East Shore Trail, from Sand Harbor to Spooner Summit, as well as bike trails all around Lake Tahoe.
