As of April 1, many roads and trails are open for the season on the west side of the Tahoe National Forest. Most roads and trails on the east side of the forest will open April 24. Wet and snowy weather necessitates closure of some routes to prevent resource damage.

Most seasonal routes on the west side of the Tahoe National Forest, including the American River and Yuba River ranger districts, are open from April 1 to Dec. 31. Most seasonal routes on the east side of the forest, including the Sierraville and Truckee ranger districts, are open from April 24 to Dec. 31.

A complete list of roads and trails and closure dates or restrictions can be found on the Tahoe National Forest 2013 Motor Vehicle Use Maps. The maps are free and available at any Tahoe National Forest office, as well as online. Digital versions of the maps can also be downloaded to mobile devices through the Avenza PDF Map app.
