Beach Rules & Regulations
Propane Grills
IVGID has recently installed new propane grills at Burnt Cedar Beach, with plans to install additional propane grills at the other District beaches in the future. Currently, the propane grills will attach to standard refillable 3-gallon or 5-gallon propane tanks, which can be brought from home or purchased around town. (Note: the grills will not connect to the small, camping-stove-style 16oz. cannisters.) Click here for more details.
IVGID Beaches Geese Patrol
Geese become a problem at our beaches when they feed on the turf, rest, stay overnight, and leave their droppings. Find out more about Geese Patrol, Incline Village's canine-powered geese control solution.
Off-Season Dog Policy
Dogs are only allowed on Ski Beach, to the west of the boat ramp, after the beaches close for the season (typically October 15 through April 15) and only when accompanied by an owner with beach access. We greatly appreciate your efforts to keep Ski Beach and Lake Tahoe as clean and pristine as possible. Thanks again for cleaning up after your pooch.
Water Safety - Boating & Swimming Safety in Lake Tahoe
Whatever your sport of choice is on the lake, please educate yourself about the colder temperatures of Lake Tahoe and check the weather before you head out. The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District has provided some great tips and reminders in this "Boat Smart. Swim Smart" article.
Regional Public Beaches
There are many public beaches around the Incline Village and North Lake Tahoe area that are open to visitors such as Sand Harbor, the Kings Beach Recreation Area, North Lake Tahoe Beach Center, Agatam Beach and Patton Beach.
