Lake Tahoe Mountain Biking Trails

Lake Tahoe offers some of the most spectacular mountain biking trails you will find just about anywhere. There is something for everyone, too. The Flume Trail offers spectacular vistas with a not too difficult trail, or you can opt for the technical steep single track of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or the Christmas Valley Downhill. Many of the rides listed below can be combined, or parts of them can be combined to come up with numerous options. These are but just a few of the many rides that Tahoe has to offer. If going up is not your cup, then both Northstar and Kirkwood offer lift accessed downhill runs.
