Nevada Division of State Parks is closing several trails and roads within the Spooner Lake backcountry to allow a construction crew, contracted through the state Public Works Division, to perform dam and water pipeline replacement, according to a news release.
The closures will affect trails from the Lakeview Trailhead in Carson City to areas within Spooner Lake State Park.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 21, the following areas will be closed to the public:
Lakeview Road
Pipeline Road
Franktown Creek Road
Snapdragon Trail
Hanna's Cabin Trail

The closures are expected to last through October 2025. The project aims to upgrade water infrastructure and ensure the long-term sustainability of the area.
Several areas around the construction zone remain open for normal operations, including:
Tahoe Rim Trail
Hobart Reservoir and campground
