Tahoe National Forest is aUnited States National Forest located inCalifornia, northwest ofLake Tahoe. It includes the 8,587-foot (2,617 m) peak ofSierra Buttes, nearSierra City, which has views ofMount Lassen andMount Shasta. It is located in parts of six counties:Sierra,Placer,Nevada,Yuba,Plumas andEl Dorado. The forest has a total area of 871,495 acres (1,362 sq mi; 3,527 km²). Its headquarters is inNevada City, California. There are localranger district offices inCamptonville,Foresthill,Sierraville andTruckee.^[1]

Tahoe National Forest has many natural and man-made resources for the enjoyment of its visitors, including hundreds of lakes and reservoirs (most notablyBoca Reservoir), river canyons carving throughgranite bedrock, and many miles of trails including a portion of thePacific Crest Trail. TheNational Wilderness Preservation System'sGranite Chief Wilderness is close by to Tahoe City, where many trails branch out into the Wilderness.

The forest also serves as the water supply headwaters for the towns ofLincoln,Auburn andRocklin.Reno, Nevada andSparks, Nevada also receive their water from the Truckee River which runs through both cities on its way to its terminus atPyramid Lake. It is also home to three wolverines.^[2]

Overview

[edit]

Tracked from as far as 2 thousand years ago, theWashoe tribe were the native indigenous who located in Tahoe National Forest before discovery and colonization of America.^[3] The Washoe used Lake Tahoe as a main source for food and hunting focusing on fishing and milling sites. Their camps were made along lush meadows and streams that parted from the lake. Here they lived peacefully and undisturbed until theGold Rush in 1849 when people all over the world traveled to California where theWashoe where their territory was encroached and overthrown by miners.^[4]

The Forest Reserves were established in 1893 to halt uncontrolled exploitation of its resources. In California, the Sierra Forest Reserve consisted of over 4,000,000 acres (1,600,000 ha).^[5] Tahoe was originally established as the Lake Tahoe Forest Reserve on April 13, 1899. The name was changed to Tahoe on October 3, 1905.^[6]

PresidentTheodore Roosevelt supported the transfer of forest reserves from theU.S. Department of the Interiorto theDepartment of Agriculture'sForest Service in 1905, withGifford Pinchot as Chief Forester. Thus began the United States National Forest System. In 1908, the Sierra National Forest was divided into five units and as time went on, more divisions, additions, and combinations were worked out so that presently, Tahoe is one of eight national forests along theSierra Nevada Mountain Range. They are, from north to south,Plumas, Tahoe,Eldorado,Toiyabe,Stanislaus,Inyo,Sierra, andSequoia.

Thecharter given by James Wilson, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, states: The National Forests are for the purpose of preserving a perpetual supply of timber for home industries, preventing a destruction of forest cover which regulates the flow of streams, and protecting local residents fromunfair competition in the use of forest and range. The timber, water, pasture and mineral resources of the national forests are for the use of the people.^[7]

Access

[edit]

Nearly all of the forest is publicly accessible under normal circumstances, subject to temporary closures for fire or weather reasons. There are many miles of roads and trails, most of which are regularly maintained. Being fairly close to both the Sacramento and Reno metropolitan areas, the forest is somewhat less remote than other national forests in the Sierra Nevada, and sees more use even in its deepest reaches. Two major roads, Foresthill Road and Mosquito Ridge Road are accessible to regular vehicles, which means many visitors can easily access areas that would be considered far flung in other nearby national forests.

Recreation

[edit]

Tahoe National Forest is one of the most popular recreation forests visited in the U.S with tons of fun activities and adventures to do throughout your visit.^[8] At the Tahoe National Forest there are 63 campgrounds to pick from with lots of different price options perfect for all interests.^[9] If visiting during the winter one can enjoy pretty much everywinter sport as well as getting a permit that allows people to cut their ownChristmas tree. In warmer months one can enjoy activities likehiking,fishing,biking and many otheroutdoor activities. However, for those planning a trip to Tahoe National Park, the park has stated to check fire restrictions and closures beforehand.

Tahoe National Forest Fires

[edit]

Similar to many other forests and lands throughout California, Tahoe national forest has had several devastating fires and has many restrictions and guidelines for visitors to follow in order to prevent spread ofwildfires. Most recentlyBear fire has burnt through 3,327 acres of Tahoe National Forest specifically in Sierra county.^[10] Bear fire, similar to most wildfires, was caused due to hot and dry windy conditions. However, one of the worst wildfires Tahoe National Forest has faced was theCaldor fire in 2021 that burned thousands of acres.^[11]

Ecology and Vegetation

[edit]

Tahoe National Forest’s elevation ranges from 1,500 ft in theAmerican River canyon to over 9,000 ft on top of mt. Lola along theSierra Crest.^[12] Thevegetation zones include mountainchaparral,mixed conifer, red fir, and eastside sage-pine/brush.^[13] Over 290 animal species inhabit Tahoe national forest along with over 1,000 plant species. Some of the most prominent animals found in Tahoe national forest includeLahontan Cutthroat Trout, Sierra Red Fox, and theMountain Beaver.^[14]

A 2002 report estimated nearly 84,000 acres (340 km²) ofold growth in the Forest. The old growth includescoast Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii),Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa),white fir (Abies concolor),sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana),California incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens),California black oak (Quercus kelloggii),lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) andred fir (Abies magnifica).^[15] A number of species of invasive weeds have been recorded in the Forest, including thistles, knapweeds, mustards, toadflaxes, daisies, brooms, and aquatic.^[16]

Placer County Big Trees Grove

[edit]

Placer County Big Trees Grove is agiant sequoia grove located in the American River watershed of Tahoe National Forest. It is known as a "tiny" giant sequoia grove, and is the northernmost grove of giant sequoias. The grove contains six old growth giant sequoias, two of which are considered "giant" size.^[17]
