NALMS and the California Lake Management Society are pleased to invite you to join us at one of the world’s deepest and clearest lakes – Lake Tahoe. This year the symposium will cover “Flood & Drought, Fire & Ice: Managing Lakes Under Changing Climates.” But like many lakes in the American West, Lake Tahoe also faces significant challenges, including increasing surface water temperatures, decreasing snowpack, increasing occurrence of cyanobacteria, wildfires, microplastics, and increased development and tourism in its watershed. These topics and more will be discussed during the conference, which will feature workshops, field trips, presentations, networking events, and vendor displays.

We encourage you to explore the Lake Tahoe region and its abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities before and after the conference. With many affordable lodging options, South Lake Tahoe and Stateline serve as a good starting point for your explorations. Average high temperatures in South Lake Tahoe during the conference period are in the low 50s F, but snow is bound to be nearby at higher elevations.
