Edgewood Tahoe Resort

Each year, Edgewood Tahoe removes 500,000 pounds of sediment from Lake Tahoe, helping to keep the lake’s water clear and allow for the passage and spawning of native fish within Edgewood Creek. Additional efforts include a fertilizer management plan to protect water sources surrounding the golf course and a membrane filtration system to treat stormwater runoff.

Construction features locally sourced materials like timber and granite to reduce miles and emissions from gathering supplies, and a lake-sourced cooling system that draws water through a 600-foot-deep pipe for power. Edgewood Tahoe has also removed several unsustainable structures and transformed the area by creating a new neighborhood park that’s open to the public.

Edgewood Tahoe has partnered with FeedTahoe by the Marcella Foundation, donating its quality surplus food to food pantries, schools, shelters, and other community nonprofits that help mitigate food insecurity in the Tahoe area. Hundreds of pounds of food have been donated by the resort.

The property once belonged to the Park family, who came out west as cattle ranchers and sustained a deep commitment to stewarding a legacy of cultural and land preservation over the past century. Guests of Edgewood Tahoe Resort can take an eco-heritage tour that unveils the history of the property, including Friday’s Station, an original stop on the Pony Express that became ranch headquarters.
