It has also become popular as a loop from Diamond Peak up the Tyrolean Trail and back down Diamond Peak. If you enter by car, your ticket also gets you into Sand Harbor and/or Cave Rock.Ĭlick on the images below to enter the gallery.The Incline Flume trail is located above Incline Village and is primarily accessed from Mt. There are probably ways to get around it, but that's the money that pays for trail upkeep. There is a $2.00 per person for entering the park on bike. If you start your ride at Spooner Lake you must pay something. Each of these shuttles has different prices, which can be found here. Both these rides end at Spooner Lake if your car is there. On odd numbered days you can charter the shuttle to head to the Kingsbury North trailhead. Biking is allowed on this section of trail on even numbered days. The shuttle also offers trips to the Tahoe Rim Trailhead at Tahoe Meadows. It's uphill, there is lots of traffic, and no shoulder. Do not try and ride back along Highway 28. Rather than use two cars, take the shuttle. The is a nice option especially for those coming from Tahoe Meadows.įlume Trail Mountain Bikes offers a shuttle that runs regularly from May through November weather permitting. After a brief climb to clear the ridge around the lake, it's a smooth, rather steep 2,000' vertical descent down to Highway 28. It leaves the mian trail (road) from the flats above Marlette Lake right before the long downhill to Spooner Lake. However, it does not end up at the Spooner Lake parking area.
This is an alternative to the North Canyon Trail to get down from Marlette Lake.
When you get to Sunflower Hill Road, there is a sign there that says no bikes any further on the Rim Trail, so I guess that 2.6 mile section is out too, and you must turn right. Note: The map lists the 5.5 mile section from Spooner to Snow Valley Peak as no bikes. The Rim Trail section, unlike the even graded Flume Trail, does have some ups and downs as well as some technical sections. Then you meet the Tahoe Rim Trail and follow it back to North Canyon Road Canyon. It can be looped by turning right at Tunnel Creek Road rather than left. Not everyone wants to shuttle this run as a one way trip, and fortunately, there are many other options. In dry summer conditions, Tunnel Creek Road can get a little bit sketchy if the sand gets too soft. The uphill to Marlette Lake is strenuous, and will turn into a hike a bike for some. If your doing the standard car shuttle, leaving from Spooner Lake and coming out on Tunnel Chute Road, this is technically an easy to moderate ride. That is, if you can take your eyes off the trail. While on the Flume Trail you will see pieces of the actual flume from time to time. The actual Flume Trail starts at Marlette Lake and runs until you reach Tunnel Creek Road. There is only one Flume Trail, but there are a number of trails in the area besides the Flume Trail. The Flume Trail is one of Lake Tahoe's most well known mountain biking trails.
