Tahoe City to River Ranch

5 miles (Map)

As you depart Tahoe City on this path, the Truckee River will be on your left side and Highway 89 on your right. There are gradual hills; kids 6 and older will do best on this path.  It can get crowded in the Summer. This is the same portion of the Truckee River that is popular for rafting.

This paved bike trail runs along West Shore Blvd.  It includes some moderate hills, and might be challenging for younger children.  There are several points when this path requires crossing highway 28.

Along the way, you'll pass Kilner Park. Sugar Pine Point State Park is a beautiful adventure all on its own.

The entire South Lake Tahoe Bike Path is approx. 11 miles long, the portion featured here is 6.5 mile (round-trip) and a virtually flat paved path.  Young children and adults will enjoy this beautiful ride through the forest.
