MULTI-USE TRAIL SYSTEM The perfect way to enjoy the Tahoe seasons and tour the North and West Shore of Lake Tahoe is using our 23-mile multi-use trail network. Our recreational trails are open to bicyclists, e-bikes, walkers, joggers, strollers, and even anglers enjoying the views. Please leash your dogs, keep an eye out for maintenance workers & equipment, and be respectful of other users. During winter, the TCPUD parks crew will keep portions of the trail clear, from Dollar Hill down the West Shore to Timberland, and the Truckee River Trail to the Squaw Valley intersection conditions permitting. Be sure to watch for icy patches during the winter months. To learn the specific location of the cleared winter trails, visit the following updated trail map from the Lake Tahoe Bike Coalition by visiting map.tahoebike.org. Enjoy the trails!
We want to hear from you! The TCPUD’s Multi-Use Trail is a valuable recreation and transportation amenity that connects residents and visitors to the things they love to do around Lake Tahoe. Our goal of making continuous enhancements to the Trail System begins with a 3-minute survey to identify improvement opportunities. You can take the survey at any time by visiting tcpud.org/trails or simply scan the QR code on any one of our Multi-Use Trail signs located throughout the Trail System. Thank you for sharing your experience! TCPUD| 15
