This includes administering the Recreation Mitigation Funding Program and grant funding from the California Department of Parks and Recreation, updating and implementing the Western Nevada County Non-Motorized Recreational Trails Master Plan, processing land use permits for park and recreation facilities and commercial rafting permits on the Truckee River, and acting as a liaison for government and non-government entities who own, plan and/or manage recreation resources in Nevada County.

Nevada County is not a recreation provider in the traditional sense of the term. The County’s primary focus is on planning for and facilitating the provision of park and recreation services (facilities and programs) throughout the County.
The Nevada County Planning Department developed this Plan to guide the review of discretionary projects for new development proposals in Western Nevada County.
