INCLINE VILLAGE

The Tahoe Transportation District (TTD) is advancing the next phase of coordinated East Shore Trail Parking improvements with construction set to begin this month on the state Route 28 North Parking Project (phase two of the Tunnel Creek Parking Project), near Incline Village. The project is part of the East Shore Trail expansion, and a broader regional effort to improve safety, enhance recreational access, and better manage parking along the SR 28 corridor. 

The project will provide 38 paid parking spaces immediately north of the existing 90-space paid parking area at the East Shore Trailhead located on SR 28 in Incline Village. In addition, the project includes a public transit shelter on SR 28 just north of Lakeshore Drive for southbound transit passengers. Finally, the project includes environmental restoration of an eroded shoulder area on the west side of SR 28 known as Rocky Point to protect Lake Tahoe’s clarity.

TTD awarded the construction contract to F.W. Carson Company, a local contractor with extensive experience delivering transportation and infrastructure projects in the Tahoe Basin.

The East Shore Trail Parking Expansion Project builds on ongoing regional parking and mobility improvements designed to address high seasonal visitation and better manage limited capacity in one of the most heavily used recreation corridors in the Tahoe Basin.

As part of this broader strategy, TTD is working with the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit on additional improvements to parking areas which are planned for opening in spring 2026, including: Chimney Beach, Secret Harbor, and Spooner Mobility Hub.
