Saw some some snow beside the trail but well maintained trail with views along Truckee River. I would not recommend parking at Commons Park because it is a tough entry point with busy streets to cross. Look for parking near Truckee bridge nearby at Tahoe City. Also take the extension at Olympic village for another 2.2 miles .
My wife and I rode this path from Meeks Bay to Tahoe City and back. It's a decent trail, often just off the busy road that encircles Lake Tahoe. While it most definitely has some sections that are quite beautiful, a good part of the trail is more utilitarian: good for getting from point A to Point B, but not particularly scenic. The paved bike path does deviate onto some streets (watch the signage, which is adequate, carefully), but these streets are low traffic and relatively brief in length. The route is moderately hilly in parts, enough to test one's cardio capacity at times, and also enough to make it unsuitable in parts for young children. We're in our 70's, and though the ride got our heart rates up from time to time, we enjoyed the ride. Be aware that the weather can change suddenly. We rode the path one week after a somewhat freakish storm came up over the lake, creating 8 foot waves and resulting in some boating fatalities, as well as converting a summer (June) afternoon into a snowstorm (yes, really).
I started the trail at lake st for the first .75 lots of homeless folks. One actually chased after me. Very irregular trail until reaching the end of the Reno side then got better.
We parked at the trailhead across from Combs Canyon Rd and snowshoed all the way to the end of the trail by the CC Hospital an back, about 1.6 miles. Easy trail and awesome views of CC and the Sierras.
Stunning views, lake breeze and access along the way. Perfect way to spend a day.
I really enjoy getting on this trail early on a Sunday Morning. I am usually on the trail by 8am.
I start at the south end and ride to E Greg Street.
I park at the Double Diamond Park. It is just a short ride along S Meadows Parkway to the beginning of the trail.
I included two screen shots of the Garmin map and a picture of the entrance to the Double Diamond Park.
You won’t regret visiting this well traveled trail. The walk is fairly easy with some extended inclines. This is one of the most beautiful trails I have hiked. Gorgeous views the whole way to Kings beach and back. Plan to take your time and enjoy it. The is no shade on this trail and
The trail is nice from Sparks until about the GSR. After you pass the GSR area heading to Reno, the path is quite inconsistent.
Love this trail! Views of wild horses and detached from traffic, wish we had more trails like this!!
You will love this absolutely beautiful trail. Weekends are a bit busy with both walkers and bikes but still worth it. The trail runs along Lake Tahoe and its has stunning views plus the water colors are magnificent. I highly recommend this trail for a nice walk. You can also go into the Sand Harbor park at the south end and stop for a Bloody Mary or other refreshments at their concession stand
I love this trail! Clean with beautiful scenery. Porta potty throughout the trail. Sound of the River is calming.
