Van Sickle Bi-State Park

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.

Jack and his wife, Beth Van Sickle, harvested thousands of Christmas trees while operating the popular Stateline Stables.

The property was also the home to the area's only rodeo grounds, where a local horse trader hosted events.

The Lake Tahoe property was owned by Jack Van Sickle when, in 1988, 542 acres (219 ha) of the land was donated to the Nevada Division of State Parks.

While the California Department of Parks and Recreation was initially involved, the organization dropped out due to continued funding woes.
