a 3 mile paved multi use trail that connects Incline Village to Sand Harbor. Park at the Tahoe East Shore Trailhead in Incline and walk or bike over to Sand Harbor.

The prettiest mountain bike trail in the Tahoe Basin. Park behind Tunnel Creek Cafe (if you are renting bikes) and you can rent bikes and get a shuttle to the start of the trail through Flume Trail Bikes. It’s a 12.8 mile ride that goes by Marlette lake and then along a gorgeous single track overlooking the lake.

Hiking
This hike is an out-and-back hike that follows Hunter Creek and culminates in a waterfall. This 5.8-mile hike starts in a desert landscape and turns into a pine forest as the elevation increases. It is dog-friendly and the creek is perfect for dogs to cool off in.
