SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA (MPG) – Outdoor enthusiasts, community members and trail advocates are invited to celebrate National Trails Day from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, by giving back to the Tahoe Basin.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA), Keep Tahoe Blue (KTB) and Nevada State Parks are joining forces to host a day of community stewardship, trail work, litter cleanup and celebration at Van Sickle Bi-State Park on Tahoe’s South Shore.

Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or looking to get involved with Tahoe Basin volunteer opportunities for the first time, this event offers a meaningful way to protect and preserve the environment. Volunteers will receive an exclusive gift. Following the morning’s stewardship efforts, volunteers will be treated to a celebratory tailgate BBQ and raffle starting at 2 p,.m.

As a special thank you to the community, Patagonia Reno will be on-site hosting a Worn Wear Pop-Up. Volunteers are encouraged to bring one item of clean, laundered clothing or gear (any brand) for free, on-site repairs, such as patching torn fabric or fixing broken zippers to help extend the lifespan of their favorite outdoor gear and reduce waste.

Location and Logistics

The event will kick off at the Van Sickle Bi-State Park Trailhead Parking Lot (Nevada Lot). Because parking is strictly limited, organizers strongly encourage participants to bike, use public transit, or carpool.

Cyclists can ride directly to the trailhead via paved paths. Transit or carpooling participants can ride a Tahoe Transportation District Bus, take a Lake Link microtransit shuttle or carpool to the nearby Stateline Transit Center where they can collect a parking pass from event staff provided by the Marriott Grand Residence Club and the City of South Lake Tahoe, and then enjoy a scenic 15-minute walk up to the trailhead.

Event sponsors include Tahoe Rim Trail Association, Keep Tahoe Blue, Nevada State Parks, Patagonia Reno, Marriott Grand Residence and the City of South Lake Tahoe.
