Rehabilitate Deteriorated Wastewater Collection and Water Distribution Systems

This Great American Outdoors Act - Legacy Restoration Fund project will replace the aging sewer collection system and potable water distribution piping in the areas surrounding the Lehman Caves Visitor Center. Current systems were installed in the 1960s and due to the system deteriorating it needs replacement.

Dates: Through 2025

Status 06/2025: Ongoing temporary disruptions to Lehman Caves Visitor Center parking, access, and water systems, including restroom closures. Heavy equipment may be present on park roads during construction.

Alternatives: Rangers will be available every day to assist with trip planning, emergency reporting, and general park information. The Great Basin Visitor Center is also open (see operating hours here) to assist.

Refurbish and Improve the Lower Lehman Creek Campground

This project involves redevelopment and expansion of Lower Lehman Creek Campground from 11 to 20 sites, including accessibility upgrades, a host site, information kiosk and trailhead improvements, new waterlines, and an expanded entrance road. Three sites will be upgraded to accommodate those with accessibility needs.

Dates: May 19, 2025 through Winter 2025

Status 06/2025: Work will continue beginning May 19th to expand the campground by adding additional campsites and rehabilitating existing ones.
