Improvements at Cave Rock boat launch will close facility for two months beginning Aug. 1
An improvement project at the Cave Rock boat launch at Lake Tahoe is scheduled to begin Monday, July 11. Between July 11 and July 31, the southern half of the parking lot will be closed. Boats may be launched, but parking will be limited.
The improvement project will include new sidewalks, an upgraded restroom and enhancements to ease traffic congestion.
On Monday, August 1, the entire Cave Rock facility will close for the duration of the project, which is estimated to take up to two months.
Alternative launch facilities are available at Lake Forest, Obexers, and the Tahoe Keys Marina. Please visit http://tahoeboatinspections.com/ or 775-831-0494 for further information.
The timing of the project is based largely on the required construction window within the Tahoe basin which is between May and October of every year.
The construction schedule was further driven by the NDOT Cave Rock Tunnel project which is currently underway. Choosing to close the Park to coincide with the NDOT project will reduce traffic congestion and increase public safety in an area where the number of travel lanes have been cut in half. The partial closure will be from July 11-31. Full closure is slated Aug. 1. The closure will run for 30 to 60 days.
