Lake Tahoe Beach Update Spring 2013
The snow has melted and the sun is out at Kiva Beach
Warm weather and sunshine has brought the people out of hibernation from their homes in South Lake Tahoe.
For the last week of April, temperatures were in the 70’s and the locals took it as their clue to hit the beach. Many visitors and locals alike were able to get their first beach day of the season in April which was an unexpected early treat for Lake Tahoe. Although Mother Nature is telling the tulips and crocus to push through the ground and start blooming, it’s still not quite summer.
Many of the top Lake Tahoe beaches are not open yet, though it hasn’t stopped the people from huffing it in, BBQ and all, from Highway 89 on the South Shore.
If you’re not into dragging your beach supplies in from the road, here is a list of the upcoming opening days of the Forest Service Recreation Spots for you to look forward to:
MAY 10: Chimney Beach; Eagle Falls; Inspiration Point; Kiva Picnic Area; Secret Harbor
MID-MAY: William Kent beach and campground
MAY 15: Sawmill Pond Picnic Area

Campgrounds, beaches and access roads typically open in mid-May depending on the weather. Before recreation sites can open to the public, the Forest Service must have crews to staff and manage the sites. Parking, trash removal and restrooms will remain closed until the sites officially open. Until the parking lots open, please park your vehicle off the roadway, avoid parking on vegetation, and do not block access gates. Also another extremely important tip is to pack out all trash.

Cold Streak grips South Lake Tahoe with below 0 Temperatures
Living in Lake Tahoe in the winter can be a like living in a snow globe.
- Over the past weekend temperatures dipped to 12 below zero
But last past week it has felt as though we’re living in an ice box!
With the recent cold snap we’ve experienced, it seems timely to offer some Tahoe home tips for those who are new to living in snow. This past weekend we set a new record low of 12 below zero. South Lake Tahoe is typically not this cold, but we must always be prepared for the unexpected!
So, here are some helpful tips to keep you and your home warm and cozy during the freezing temperatures:
Never let your house freeze.If your home is freezing, your pipes are freezing. Always leave the heat on in your home during the winter months, even if you’re not home. Setting the thermostat to 55 degrees when you’re not home will help to prevent your pipes from freezing.
Keep your thermostat set at a minimum of 55 degrees to prevent freezing
Shut the garage doors and open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors. Closing the garage door keeps the cold out, while opening the kitchen and bathroom cabinets helps to circulate warm air around the plumbing. Seems simple enough, right?
Keep your water shut off valve clear of snow and ice. Do you know where your water shut off valve is? Could you get to it if you needed to? If you have a broken pipe with water leaking in the freezing winter, the last thing you want to do is dig and chip out your emergency shut off valve. Know where your shut off valve is and keep it free of ice and snow.
Those are just a few tips to keep you South Lake Tahoe home from freezing up during the colder months.
