Riding bikes on this paved, curvy trail through the trees fulfills a kid's need-for-speed, while allowing adults the chance to slow down from the traffic at home. It's a win-win on all accounts.
These paths get you places as they mosey through meadows and meander over creeks and through neighborhoods. Lake Tahoe is a lively place, with both nature and people. You get to experience it all on So. Tahoe trails
Although it is really a network of neighborhood trails, main trail is clearly marked. I actually clocked about 18 miles round trip from the parking at the hatchery. There is unpaved spur up the hill toward the lake so if you have e-bike or mountain bike, you can try it as well.
Trail is long, but it seems it is just the canal access road. No benches, no water, no shade, no facilities, so be prepared.
Rode this yesterday from campground. Between Camp Richardson towards Cascade is less traveled and very bumpy. The other direction from Camp Richardson is much smoother trail for bikes.
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 .
I love this trail! It's a beautiful ride along the river. There are some slight hills to give your work out some variety. Don't forget to stop and take pictures!!
This trail has been extended and is now 13 miles long. It begins at Jones Fork Campground and wanders along the lake and through several campgrounds with over 100 campsites and numerous bathrooms all the way to West Point Campground. We started 1 mile in at the Sunset Peninsula Campground which is an excellent trailhead at the boat launch and rode all the way to West Point (24.5 miles round trip). There is also an excellent trailhead at West Point Campground. Both have plenty of parking. Half of the trail is newly paved and many new bridges. There are several sandy beaches along the trail. Only saw a handful of other riders. We were lucky to see 2 beautiful Red Tail Hawks along the way. We will return.
Rolling reflections ¿¿¿¿¿ For the past few weeks, I had the joy of riding an electric bike~compliments of the City of Elk Grove. On my final day, I rode the full length of Laguna Creek and let the ride speak for itself. Looking forward to it connecting to the American River one day. Can’t wait to get back on an e-bike again. A few snapshots from the journey…
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 used this app while running 10K today. This is great.
