High lake level closing Tahoe beaches

A sustained high lake level and added boat wake have started to cause erosion problems along the shoreline at Lake Tahoe.

The eroding beach at Lakeview Commons has already impacted the weekly concerts on Thursday.

Now the California Tahoe Conservancy, which owns that space and other beaches, is limiting public access and temporarily closing portions of some South Shore beaches for public safety and to protect sensitive habitat.

Locations include the Upper Truckee Marsh and other Conservancy ownership near Lakeview Commons.

Here is a map to the beaches.
