INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Spooner Lake has been temporarily closed to keep people safe during construction of the new visitor center and amphitheater, officials announced Thursday. Nevada State Park officials said the closure is necessary to protect the safety of park visitors due to the presence of open trenches and heavy equipment operations. The main entrance, parking areas and frontcountry will be closed to public access beginning on Sunday on Monday, July 19, and are anticipated to reopen in early September. The Spooner backcountry and trails will not be affected by this closure and will remain open. However, park visitors are advised that there is no trailhead access, parking or facilities available at Spooner Lake.
