[
edit
]
Washoe Meadows State Park was established in 1984 to prevent the expansion of the Lake Tahoe Golf Course across the
Truckee River
,
[1]
and was named after the local
Washoe people
.
[2]
In 2018, parts of the park were used alongside nearby
South Lake Tahoe Airport
as filming locations for
Top Gun: Maverick
.
[3]
In 2023, Washoe Meadows was one of 12 California state parks subject to a memorandum of understanding between the
California Department of Parks & Recreation
and the Washoe Tribe of Nevada focused on cooperation and tribal access.
[4]
Bird spotters noticed
sandhill cranes
nesting here in 2023 along with other sites around Lake Tahoe.
