Mountain biking the Flume Trail in Lake Tahoe (Half-day)

Ride the classic Flume Trail that is lined with stunning natural beauty as we bike along the dirt trails of the forest that lines Lake Tahoe.

The huge freshwater lake is located in the Sierra Nevada straddling the border between Nevada and California. With a width of 12 miles and 22 miles in length, Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America.

The Flume Trail gets its name from the region’s history, where the lumber and mining industries once thrived. Given the need to transport the trees down the mountainside, flumes were built that would transport objects via the flowing waters.

The rolling hills offer us challenging uphill sections and relieving downhill respites.

We begin our ride at Spooner Lake, inside the Lake Tahoe State Park on the eastern shore.

Starting with a 4-mile climb, this scenic start will motivate us along this uphill section. Beautiful aspen groves flank our trail as we head downhill to Marlette Lake.

The riding is fast and the landscapes are breathtaking. People may enjoy natural via walks or hikes, but biking certainly gets the adrenaline pulsing, which makes it a unique way to experience the mountains.

Pedalling may become a challenge in some sections, yet the views you’ll discover are unrivalled and the hard work certainly pays off.
