My husband and I took the 2 hour trail ride and had a great ride. Our guide Alyssa (may have spelled her name wrong) was very pleasant to ride with and very knowledgeable of the area we rode through. The trail wound through beautiful scenery and was a little rugged in spots, but the horses were really steady and my husband (very much a beginner at riding) had no trouble negotiating the terrain. We look forward to riding with Piping Rock again next time we’re in the Reno area.

Reviewed By drmader - Orinda, United States

Hannah made it fast and easy. We walked up, filled out paperwork, handed a credit card and got the safety run down. We were on the water enjoying the lake within 10 Minutes..no reservation, easy.. both people working there were young and very polite and accommodating. We took our small dog along and had a lovely time. We will be back..this was a great experience and the kayak /jet ski/ paddle board looked great too. Well run and fair pricing. Thank you

Donner Lake

Reviewed By TV2451

I have always loved this mountain lake, sort of a small version of Tahoe. Always pretty, but I most love it in the summer. Great state park at one end, nice private beach in between. Lots of lovely houses around. Good place for a very long walk.

Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Area is our favorite. We try to go every winter. It has good rental equipment and a large variety of trails, from beginner to expert level. They also offer ski lessons.
