Boat Launch at Sand Harbor State Park to open without docks following storm damage
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – The boat launch at Sand Harbor State Park is scheduled to open for the season on Friday, May 1, 2026, though visitors should be aware that no docks will be available at the launch due to storm damage sustained during an April weather event.
High winds and rough lake conditions damaged the docks at the boat launch, requiring them to be removed from the water for repairs. Nevada State Parks staff are actively working to fabricate new docks and return them to service as quickly as possible.
Until repairs are complete and the docks are reinstalled, boaters using the launch should plan accordingly and be prepared for no available dock access or tie-up area while launching and retrieving vessels.
The boat launch itself will remain operational and open to the public as scheduled.
Nevada State Parks will provide updates and notify the public once the repairs are complete and the docks have been returned to the water. For more information, and to stay up-to-date, visit parks.nv.gov.
