Neglecting this requirement may result in fines and tickets.
From Nov. 1 to May 30, every vehicle must prominently display a valid SNO-Park parking permit on the left side of the dashboard, visible from outside. SNO-Parks are identified by brown signs along highways.
Simply visit ohv.parks.ca.gov for more information and online purchases. Or use the SNO-Park Ranger Districts Directory to contact your nearest ranger district. Day and seasonal passes are available.
California State SNO-Parks, located on Forest Service lands, offer designated parking for winter enthusiasts heading out on non-motorized activities — such as cross-country skiing, dog sledding, or just playing in the snow. Some SNO-Parks cater to both motorized and non-motorized activities.
SNO-Parks contribute to safe winter landscapes in the Sierras. Parking on highway interchanges is strictly prohibited. Sales of SNO-Park parking permits help finance plowing services and restroom facilities through the Winter Recreation Fund.
The administration of the SNO-Park program is a collaboration between the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Commission, U.S. Forest Service, California Department of Transportation, California Highway Patrol and local community organizations.

The leisurely walks are led by volunteer State Parks docents on a three-mile trail over mostly level terrain. There is no charge for the guided nature walks and parking is free for those attending.
Guided nature walks will be held on the second Saturday of each month in 2024. The walks begin at 8:30 a.m. No pets are permitted on the park trails.
The next guided nature walk is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 10.
Everyone is invited to take a walk in the park and experience the benefits of getting out into nature for some healthy exercise.
The first half mile of the nature walk over the Cache Creek Nature Trail is ADA accessible. Rain will cancel the walk.
Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Hwy 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
