Rules to Lake By Green Logo

The clearest blue water. The brightest green mountains. It’s awe and then some, but all this awesome doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from mutual respect for the South Shore, from locals and visitors alike. That’s why we created Rules to Lake By: five ways to practice responsible tourism at Lake Tahoe, so we can keep this place awesome today and awesome tomorrow.

Protect the Awe

Let’s look out for the Lake.

Lake Tahoe is mother nature showing off at her best–it’s awe and then some. To keep it that way, let’s look out for the lake, the mountains, the trails and the trees, the critters and all the people here, too. Let’s go big, but let’s land lightly–because spots like this are hard to come by.

Be Kind By Nature

Live with kindness each day, in every way.

Make kindness your compass. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a lifetime, we’re all here for the same reasons. Care for those around you, treat everyone with respect and show some love in the South Shore.

Let’s Leave Less

Let’s pick up after ourselves and our pets.

In leaving less, we lighten our impact on the lake. So let’s pick up our trash, let’s clean up after our pets and let’s look out for what our neighbors may have left behind, too. When we leave less, we leave more for future generations to enjoy.

Park with Heart

Park properly and share the space.

To park with heart is to park where we’re supposed to park, rather than where we wish we could. It’s about sharing our spaces so we can all make the most of them. If that means walking a bit further, there are worse places to take a hike.

Enjoy Tahoe Time

Practicing patience enriches everyone’s experience.

It’s one thing to be out for a rush, but another to be in one. So, when you’re here, be on Tahoe Time. That means savor, don’t sprint. Go get after it on our slopes, shores and summits – but practice patience everywhere else.
