About Washoe Meadows State Park
Meadows and surrounding woodlands cover more than 600 acres here, forming a mix of open grassland and forested terrain south of Lake Tahoe. The park protects this combination of habitat types rather than centering on a single built feature or landmark. Its size and terrain make it a stretch of undeveloped land within reach of the Tahoe basin.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
