(Nov. 16, 2022) On Thursday, November 17, Nevada State Parks and partners, including government officials and private donors, will celebrate the completion of construction of a new visitor center and amphitheater at Spooner Lake with an official ribbon cutting ceremony.
The event will feature remarks from key stakeholders, a ribbon cutting photo op, as well as individual interviews with project experts.
The new facilities at Spooner Lake offer visitors high quality interpretive programming and environmental education, and serve as a base for natural and cultural history programs, ranger-led hikes and tours, and an outdoor science venue for students.
The project also serves as a major portal to more than 60 miles of paths and trails spanning 13,000 acres of spectacular non-motorized primitive wilderness within the Lake Tahoe Basin.
“We’re excited to offer visitors to Spooner Lake a fun educational experience at an already spectacular State Park,” said Bob Mergell, Nevada State Parks Administrator.
“The new state-of-the-art facilities provide students with the perfect setting for science and nature-based field trips and ecology and outdoor education programs. My thanks to the Tahoe Fund and all of the dedicated community supporters for coming together to enhance Spooner Lake State Park and solidify the entire east shore of Lake Tahoe as a world-class recreation destination.”
