Marsh South Restoration Project
Overview
The California Tahoe Conservancy is in the planning process for the Marsh South Restoration Project at the southern end of the méšuk málɨm (formerly known as the Upper Truckee Marsh) in South Lake Tahoe. Proposed project elements include significant river and wetland restoration downstream of U.S. Highway 50, including the site of the former Motel 6. To facilitate the restoration, the Conservancy also proposes to modify the South Tahoe Bikeway and river access.
Public outreach began in spring 2025. The Conservancy held three additional public workshops in December 2025, to share recommendations and gather further public feedback, as well as providing updates at Conservancy Board meetings.
