Grant will pay for Tahoe Water Trail signs

Sierra Business Council has been chosen as a recipient of a Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation grant in the amount of $7,500.

The money will be used to support the planning process for educational Lake Tahoe Water Trail wayfinding signage to help paddlers have a safe and fun adventure, and to protect natural resources.

The grant provides much needed funds to allow the Sierra Business Council to work with lakewide public access land managers and recreation providers to discuss the process for development and installation of coordinated educational signage at primary public launch locations.

The goal is to have the signs in place for the 2016 paddling season.

Signage will provide water safety and resource conservation tips, and navigable paddle routes and distances to locate public beach access to shoreline businesses, nearby hiking trails, historic sites, lodging and campgrounds.
