Van Sickle Bi-State Park is a public recreation area straddling the border of California and Nevada, (Western United States), that overlooks Lake Tahoe (shared by both states) and preserves the memory of Henry Van Sickle, a key member in the founding of the town of Genoa, Nevada and the surrounding area. The state park features trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. It is managed by the Nevada Division of State Parks in partnership with the California Tahoe Conservancy.[2]
