An exciting new bikeway was just unveiled in our state and you'll want to be sure to check it out soon. The Tahoe East Shore Trail has made an area of Lake Tahoe more accessible than ever, and it's downright breathtaking.
The three-mile long bicycle and pedestrian trail meanders around the northeast shore of Lake Tahoe. It provides new access to some of Tahoe's greatest little-known gems, including a plethora of hidden beaches.
The trail officially opened on June 28, 2019. Starting at the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Highway 28, the path stretches all the way to Sand Harbor State Park. Whether on foot or bicycle, you can't help but fall in love with the fantastic scenery along the way.
The trail is completely paved and boasts a spacious 10-foot width. While traversing it, you'll encounter 17 vista points that overlook Tahoe and 11 shoreline access points. Before the trail was constructed, accessing these destinations had not only been difficult but incredibly dangerous.
This stretch of highway is known to become especially congested and several people have been struck by moving vehicles while traversing the area. Thanks to this new trail, hikers and bikers will have safe and direct access to the lake.
This stunning path wouldn't have been possible without the Tahoe Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Lake Tahoe. They raised more than $1 million from thousands of private donors to build the beautiful bikeway.
One of the path's most amazing features is the 810-foot-long bridge that hangs over the shoreline between Incline Village and Sand Harbor. Cruising over Tahoe's vibrant blue waters is an experience that simply can't be described.
We couldn't be more thankful that a trail like this exists in our state! See a piece of Lake Tahoe you've never seen before and take a ride on this brand new bikeway soon.
