Tahoe National Forest, Protected forest in Sierra Nevada, California, United States.
Tahoe National Forest encompasses 871,495 acres of diverse landscapes with mountains, meadows, lakes, and rivers across six California counties.
The Lake Tahoe Forest Reserve gained its current name in 1905 when President Theodore Roosevelt transferred forest reserves to the United States Forest Service.
The Washoe Native American tribe inhabited this territory before 1849, using Lake Tahoe and surrounding lands for sustenance and natural materials.
The forest maintains 63 campgrounds, numerous trails for hiking and biking, and provides opportunities for winter sports, fishing, and outdoor recreation.
Sierra Buttes peak rises 8,587 feet within the forest boundaries, offering views extending to Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta.
