Northstar at Tahoe Mountain Bikinger Northstar At Tahoe Mountain Bike Park (530) 562-1010 or (800) GO-NORTH

We're talking mountain biking on more than 100 miles of marked trails where you can grunt, groan and stir up some dirt. Open daily weather permitting. Northstar's Mountain Bike Park is serviced by chairlifts equipped with racks to take you and your bike from the Village elevation of 6,330' to the mid-mountain elevation of 7,040' and higher.

Sugar Pine Point Park logo Sugar Pine Point State Park is a forested promontory on the western side of Lake Tahoe. Trails serve almost every part of the park. A short loop trail through the Z'Berg Natural Preserve, the Dolder Trail follows the lakeshore and passes the world's highest working lighthouse. For those with more time, the General Creek Trail is a 6 1/2 mile loop, offering an optional side trip to Lily Pond. Lost Lake, a beautiful alpine lake, is a full 15 mile round trip, and should only be tackled by seasoned hikers with ample time (6 to 7 hours).

Mountain bike use has increased significantly over the last few years. Mountain bikers are asked to be responsible riders, treading lightly, staying on designated riding trails only, and announcing their presence when coming up on hikers. Trails not shown as hike/bike trails are off limits to bikes. Please help us protect the park by not creating new trails. The paved West Shore Bike Trail parallels the highway through the park as the south boundary where it officially ends.

Dogs must be kept on leash (six foot maximum length) and are allowed only in the developed areas of the park. Dogs are not permitted on park trails.

Tahoe Rim Trail

The Tahoe Rim Trail is one of the world's premier trails and is marketed as a 165 mile loop trail. In reality, it is longer and for thru-hikers, you must include road sections. So, for planning purposes, the total mileage is closer to 164 miles.  

It is a trail that offers something for everyoneHiking, horseback riding and skiing are allowed on all portions of the trail.
