As Labor Day weekend approaches, the South Lake Tahoe California Highway Patrol (CHP) is ramping up patrols to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. With Emerald Bay being a top destination, drivers are advised to be aware of parking regulations.

Emerald Bay features three official parking lots: Inspiration Point, Eagle Falls Trailhead, and Emerald Bay State Park (Vikingsholm). Due to high traffic, shoulder parking is limited, and early arrival is recommended. CHP will strictly enforce parking regulations, so visitors should stay alert to signage and parking restrictions.

Enjoy the holiday responsibly and make the most of your final summer weekend in South Lake Tahoe, the CHP urged.
