Jennifer Dawson , the supervisor for Washoe Lake State Park, was our guest speaker. She discussed many new improvements to the park, including a plan for pull-through sites for horse camping and increasing the parking area to more towards the west. They will also be upgrading the existing arena. The arena will be graded better and a 70% sand 30% D.G. mixture will be used for footing. They are looking to local clibs to help with labor and funding of this arena. Their cost to do the improvements is $5400. NASTR donated $1000 to help out. Also the rates are going up up the park. The State Parks has a $1,000,000 shortfall and they will have this amount taken out of their budgets next year. The parking fees will be increased from $4 to $5 pervehicle and the pay stations will be open more often. Also the yearl pass will increase from $50 tp $65. Or you can obtain a pass for $90 per year for all Nevada State Parks. The Senior pass will increase from $15 to $30. So if you need to get your passes do so quickly before the fees increase.
