Bear Smart Program
American Black Bears are common in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Unfortunately, human activity has allowed bears to become habituated to human food and garbage. Get information on how to be bear smart and stash your trash here.
As the COVID-19 situation continues to rapidly evolve, the Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) has temporarily closed all IVGID offices and venues to the public. Staff will continuously reevaluate the situation in an effort to reopen venues as soon as possible. As a health and safety concern all parks and beach facility playgrounds and restrooms will remain closed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We strive to continue to provide you with support and ask that all requests for services and information be submitted to info@ivgid.org or by phone (775) 832-1100.
