Takeout Tahoe
Wildfire Resources
The character of North Lake Tahoe is enhanced by the fact that the region spans both California and Nevada. Both states (and a number of counties) have been diligently working through the stages of the pandemic. As guidelines and requirements change quickly, please review regional information prior to visiting.
Masks
Masks are no longer required in public places within California or Nevada, but there are locations where visitors may still be asked to wear one. Masks and protective equipment requirements in facilities serving vulnerable populations – like hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities – will be overseen at the direction of the Department of Health and Human Services. The safety of health care staff and patients remain the top priority. We ask that you always respect individual businesses in their requests pertaining to masks as well.
Regionwide Information
“Know Before You Go” has become the mantra and best practice adopted by businesses large and small in North Lake Tahoe. As the region responds to ever-changing protocols required by local, state and federal health officials, guests are encouraged to review the region’s Know Before You Go guide and check directly with resorts, businesses and lodging properties before visiting to understand current procedures as they are subject to change.
