Outdoor Angels Launches Tahoe Recreation Platform
The online service pairs outdoor activities with donation opportunities for local land-stewarding organizations.
Outdoor Angels launched in the Lake Tahoe region on Oct. 13, 2026. Founder Guy Mikel developed the platform after noticing that spending time outside had become less routine and more intentional. Its website brings together four components meant to reduce the effort involved in getting outdoors, strengthen local recreation operators and direct support toward groups that care for shared lands.
The Tahoe rollout includes a nonprofit contribution-matching program. Participating organizations named at launch are Clean Up the Lake, the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the Sugar Pine Foundation. Outdoor Angels will match each user’s donation by as much as $50, drawing from a total fund of $25,000.
For Tahoe visitors, the platform connects recreation with the stewardship of the forests, trails and lake tied to those experiences. Clean Up the Lake CEO Colin West said the approach links outdoor time with meaningful protection of the places people enjoy. The Sugar Pine Foundation also views time in the forest as a way to cultivate more people interested in nature and forest conservation. The platform is available at outdoor.love.
