Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park is a Nevada state park in western Nevada. Located on the shores of Lake Tahoe, it is in the Western Nevada Region of Nevada State Parks.
[edit] Marlette Lake Water System
The history of the park includes the silver mining boom in Virginia City. The mines required large amounts of water and timber to supply the houses and mines. To feed these mines, Marlette Lake, Hobart Reservoir, and Spooner Lake were built, and a number of flumes and pipelines were built to funnel the water down to Virginia City. These structures are now listed as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers, and are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The trail where the flume was located is now a trail for mountain biking and hiking.
