Things to do in Lake Tahoe (California), Lake Tahoe (California): The Best Biking Trails

August 22, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Basking in its 300 days of sunshine, Lake Tahoe is a haven for outdoor fun in every season. Swimming, kayaking and windsurfing are popular in the summer months, while epic snowfall makes for spectacular skiing in winter. For those who prefer indoor fun, there's plenty of that in Tahoe, too. With 24-hour casinos and a flashy nightlife scene, the area has a tangible Vegas vibe. A sprinkle of bling, if you will. Not surprising, since Lake Tahoe straddles the border between California and Nevada.

Not too challenging, and good for the entire family. Great way to bike from Squaw into town, have lunch, visit Commons beach and bike back again.

A stroll along the river before dinner, well worth taking the time to relax and feel nature. There is no difficulty to this paved path.

Northstar California Mountain Bike Park

Reviewed By G2226HQcatherines

My friend and I am beginner/intermediate mountain bikers. We are in our fifties and I have to say we had an absolute blast lots to choose from on the trails. Very clearly marked trails from beginner, to intermediate and advanced! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the lifts worked great, everything timely and organized, and line wait times were reasonable. We went late summer pre-covid. We can't wait to go back once the park opens up again! Yes it was expensive but it was completely worth it! And of course in the Tahoe and Truckee area there are other places to mountain bike that are awesome and are free.
