Fallen Leaf Lake plan gets USFS green light
A five-year project to improve the Fallen Leaf Lake area could begin next spring.
Approval for the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit upgrades came last week.
The project includes improving the Fallen Leaf Lake trail system, while reducing congestion and user conflict. Some of the user created trails will be eliminated. Upgrades and new trails are included in the plans.
The bridge over Fallen Leaf Lake dam will be replaced with one that meets today’s building codes and standards. This includes making it easier for cyclists to cross.
Parking would be expanded and improved, too.
People have through October to appeal the decision.
For more information about the project, go online.

I can live it.
Not sure about the part were they “Some of the user created trails will be eliminated. Upgrades and new trails are included in the plans”
But over all if they must keep spending, i can live with this
over all looks like a good plan, but they are elimanting the trail along Taylor Ck that goes from the dam to Cathedral rd that to me is one of the most scenic in the area. in the comment meeting they were going to reroute the sensitive parts, keeping the rest?
The Taylor Creek path should stay. It’s very popular to dog owners who take their dogs for a walk and a dip.
