Paid parking possible at Van Sickle in the future

While it’s free for now, officials are looking to start charging for parking at Van Sickle Bi-State Park on the South Shore.

“As far as the fees, I would expect Van Sickle will follow along with all the rest of the state parks fees. We have recently gone to a standard entrance price across the board, the entrance fee will probably be $10. That’s the standard we are now charging for entrance only,” Mike Shipman, Nevada State Parks law enforcement ranger at Van Sickle, told Lake Tahoe News.

For now, a donation tube is near the bathroom on the Nevada side.

The future of paid parking will be part of a broader discussion about the park that borders California and Nevada.
