Tahoe City Waterfront Walking Tour

Mountain Town Walking Tours, Tahoe City Waterfront Walking Tour
Event Description: 

Traveling along the new Lakeside Bike Trail, the Tahoe City Waterfront Tour covers fun and interesting topics specific to Lake Tahoe’s clear waters and how Tahoe City’s location has made it a special place during the last 150 years.  Stops are made along the trail, including at the Truckee River outlet, where the Dam, the Truckee River, water rights, and clarity issues will be talked about. Since boating has been such a large part of Tahoe City’s past, a stop will be made at the Tahoe City Marina to talk about historic steamers and the golden era of speed boats. Other interesting stops include the old jail on Commons Beach and at scenic outlooks along the trail.

Duration: About 1.5 hours
Distance: About 3/4 of a mile on a flat bike trail
Ending location: Close to Boatworks Mall
Other information:  Please park in public parking lots or at the fee-based lot at Gatekeeper’s Museum. Leashed well well-behaved dogs are welcome.  This tour is family-friendly; however, it probably won’t be exciting for young children.
