Mountain bikers are a special breed of crazy, and Tahoe South’s legendary trails draw these daredevils from far and wide.

Some of them even live here permanently, so your knobby tires will be in good local company.

From the heart-pounding downhill track of the Saxon Creek Trail (nickname: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride) to the gorgeous Flume Trail (which becomes mercifully level after the first two miles), there are rides for every technical level. For the truly ambitious, you can link trails and ride seven summits in one day.

So you haven’t been biking for 20 years? Do not fear. South Lake Tahoe has plenty of shops that rent or sell high quality bikes, staffed by experts who can show you the ropes.

The best part about mountain biking in South Lake Tahoe? Plunging your sweaty self into the lake after your ride. Easy beach access means you can go straight from the trails to the water. Trust us, you’ll need a rinse.


The locals have spoken! The Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association (TAMBA) is sharing the best six mountain bike rides in South Lake Tahoe.
