Van Sickle Bi-State Park

Van Sickle Bi-State Park, State park at Nevada-California border near Lake Tahoe, US.

Van Sickle Bi-State Park covers 575 acres in Nevada and 150 acres in California, overlooking Lake Tahoe. Its trails cross pine forest and link to the Tahoe Rim Trail. The main entrance and most historic buildings, including an 1870 farm barn and a 1917 log cabin, stand on the California side, where the Heavenly gondola passes overhead.

Henry Van Sickle settled the land in 1852 and built a hotel, restaurant, and blacksmith shop while operating a toll road through the area. The site later became a park and retains remnants of that early settlement era.

The park contains old structures from different time periods, including a log cabin built in 1917 and a historic farm barn that show how people built homes and worked the land in this region.

The main entrance and most historic buildings lie on the California side, where the Heavenly gondola passes over the grounds near the barn and stables. Trails link to the Tahoe Rim Trail for longer routes. The park sits at about 1,963 metres, so carry water and wear sturdy footwear.

The main entrance and most of the historical buildings stand on the California side, even though the park is run by Nevada State Parks and is not counted as a California state park. The Heavenly Ski Resort gondola passes over the grounds near the barn and stables.
