Tahoe East Shore Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Excellent multi-use trail along the North-East waterfront. Here it crosses over the highway to continue on the inland side to Incline.

Tip by

7.03 km

Hidden Beach actually isn't that hidden anymore but located about one mile south of Incline Village. But that doesn't make it less beautiful and you will love to go for a swim and enjoy the boulder-shoreline.

Memorial Point Overlook

Highlight • Viewpoint

Memorial Point Overlook is located between Incline Village and San Harbor and offers spectacular views over Lake Tahoe and its large granite formations. Memorial Point hosts a very short trail to the shore, where you will find information boards about the flora and fauna of the area.

Lake Tahoe

Highlight • Lake

Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake that straddles the border of California and Nevada. Sitting at 6,225 feet in elevation makes it the largest alpine lake in North America. It is a major tourist draw with its stunning beauty and world-class ski resorts.

Viewpoint over Sand Harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take the little path from Tahoe East Shore Trail to the shoreline and you will be able to enjoy beautiful vistas of Sand Harbor.

Sand Harbor Beach

Highlight • Beach

Sand Harbor owes its current existence to the wealthy recluse George Whittell Jr, who inherited a vast fortune in the early 20th century. The wealthy heir bought 40,000 acres (nearly the entire Nevada side of Tahoe) with plans to develop large casinos and resorts. However, as he grew older he became more paranoid and reclusive and none of his grand plans came to fruition. Eventually most of his Tahoe holdings became public lands and the East Shore, Sand Harbor included, remain much less developed than other areas around Tahoe.

Tahoe East Shore Trail: Incline Village to Sand Harbor

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The trail from Incline Village to Sand Harbor is a must for anyone visiting North Lake Tahoe. There is one hill as you leave/enter Incline Village, but the rest of the trail is flat and follows along Tahoe's east shore, with incredible views around every corner. Eventually you'll end up at the fantastic Sand Harbor State Park, where you can enjoy the sun, sand, and water before heading back to Incline Village.

Lakeshore Boulevard

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Along Lakeshore Boulevard is a paved bike path that runs from end to end. You can't see much of the lake due to the large houses and fences, but the ride is still enjoyable especially for fans of architecture. If you're riding around the lake this is a better option than riding through the center of Incline Village.
