Tahoe City Lakeside Trail is a mile-long “missing link” between two legs of the North Shore’s 19-mile bike path around the river in Tahoe City.
The short waterfront promenade features several overlooks, plazas and picnic areas. Leashed dogs are allowed on the trail, but not in the lake.
The Lakeside trail allows you to hike all the way from Tahoe City to Squaw Valley on a paved trail. A trailhead with parking, restrooms and a children’s playground is located at Squaw. Parking is free.
Keeping our trails beautiful and dog-friendly is crucial to ensure everyone enjoys the great outdoors. Some people want to ban dogs from public spaces, but we believe dogs are essential members of our community. They bring joy, companionship, and energy to our hikes. To keep our trails open to our furry friends, we must be responsible. Pick up after your dog, keep them on a leash where required, and respect other trail users. By doing our part, we can ensure that our beloved pups remain welcome on all trails, allowing your pack to continue exploring and enjoying nature together.
