Incline Village sits on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe at the far end of SR-28, and the drive in from Tahoe City through Kings Beach follows the shoreline the whole way. North Shore weather looks gentle from the lake, but Dollar Hill and the state line climb still catch snow and chain controls in a storm. The live weather above and the road status with its Caltrans timestamp, the North Shore cameras, and the chain controls below give you the whole picture before you leave.
What is the weather in Incline Village right now?
The live weather section at the top of this page shows the current conditions for the Incline Village and North Shore area, and the road status above it carries its Caltrans timestamp. Check the two together: the weather says what is happening in the sky, the status says what Caltrans has on the road right now.
Is SR-28 open to Incline Village?
Check the live status at the top of this page, with its Caltrans timestamp. That status covers SR-28 along the North Shore from Tahoe City to the Nevada state line, the stretch where chain controls apply on the drive in. Incline Village itself is a short drive past the line on Nevada 28.
Do I need chains on SR-28 today?
Check the live chain controls on this page and on the chains page before you drive. If the live page shows R-1, R-2, or R-3 at Dollar Hill, Kings Beach, or anywhere on the North Shore, follow that level. See the chain guide for what each level means.
