Beach Rules & Regulations
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.

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.
