Accessibility Statement

• Semantic HTML5 markup throughout the site • Sufficient color contrast ratios for text and UI elements • All images include descriptive alt text • Interactive elements are keyboard-navigable • Map interfaces include text-based alternatives (sidebar lists with full detail) • Focus indicators visible on all interactive elements • No content flashes or rapid animations that could trigger seizures

• Interactive maps (Leaflet) have limited screen reader support — all map content is duplicated in the sidebar list with full details, so the map is not the only way to access any information. • The live conditions ticker in the footer moves automatically — it can be paused by using the Refresh Data button instead, which loads the same data statically. • Some third-party content (linked resort sites, Recreation.gov) may have their own accessibility limitations outside our control.

Lake Tahoe has several accessible outdoor destinations worth highlighting: • East Shore Trail — paved, flat, 4.2 miles between Spooner Lake and Sand Harbor • Tahoe Meadows boardwalk — flat boardwalk loop at 8,740ft, fully accessible • Kings Beach SRA — accessible beach, parking, and restrooms • Pope Beach — accessible beach area with parking • Camp Richardson — accessible RV sites and lake access • Spooner Lake — accessible 2-mile interpretive loop • Nevada Beach — accessible beach and campground sites Contact Recreation.gov or individual parks to confirm current accessibility conditions.
