New boat ramp hours begin Tuesday at Tahoe’s Sand Harbor and Cave Rock

As fall creeps up on the High Sierra the Nevada Division of State Parks is changing the hours of operation for launching boats at both Sand Harbor and Cave Rock State Parks.

Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8, the Sand Harbor State Park boat ramp will be opening at 7am and close at 5:30pm. Any Weather Service wind advisory will trigger a closure.

The boat ramp and parking lot at Sand Harbor will close for the season on Oct. 15. However, the main parking lot will remain open for the winter which will allow non-motorized watercraft to launch from the main beach.

Meanwhile, the Cave Rock State Park Boat Ramp will get you on the water starting October 1st. Boaters are asked to check with Tahoe Boat Inspections for hours and ramp/parking lot closures.
