Taylor Creek
Saturday, October 1, 2011
The season of colors is upon us! In Lake Tahoe this means the brilliant golden glow of Quaking Aspen trees and the vibrant red shine of Kokanee Salmon as they spawn in Taylor Creek. To celebrate this event, the U.S. Forest Service sponsors the Kokanee Salmon Festival at the Lake Tahoe Visitor Center at Taylor Creek, 3 miles north of South Lake Tahoe on California Highway 89.
This free family event encourages participation by children and their parents in a wide variety of educational and entertaining events. New this year is a giant 40 foot inflatable fish for children to explore. "Sammy Salmon" (the official mascot) will make appearances each day.
