LOCAL RIDE INFO

There are a variety of paved multi-use paths in the area.  There are bathroom facilities, water fountains, and trail markers available on these routes.  Bike maps are available at our rental desk, and feel free to ask for advice on what trail would best suit your needs!  All the paths are easily accessible from Olympic Bike Shop.

Truckee River Path
The most popular path follows the Truckee River to Squaw Valley for 8 miles, and is relatively flat.  This is a great ride for casual cyclists, families, and folks wanting to take it easy.

West Shore Path
This route follows the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, ending at Sugar Pine State Park, 12 miles from Tahoe City.  This path is more strenuous, includes detours through quiet residential neighborhoods, and crosses Highway 89 several times.  There is a section in Homewood where the bike path is not yet finished; riders are required to share the highway with a minimal shoulder. However, the end of the trail is well worth it.  You’ll find a state park with lots of grass, beautiful beaches, and a public pier.

Dollar Hill Path
A shorter multi-use path travels from the north end of Tahoe City to the top of Dollar Hill, and is a popular way to get to and from town.  This trail provides good access for off road riding.
