It connects to the existing Keystone Canyon Trail (once a toll road to the historic town of Poeville); the trail makes 8- or 12-mile loop (depending on the path chosen) from either of the trailheads. The majority of the trail is narrow (single track) but can be hiked or biked. If you are bringing your dogs I recommend they be under excellent voice control due to the bicyclist speed down some of the stretches. Elevation gain is about 1,100 feet and I recommend bringing water as it can get very hot during the summer months.

Fortunately…read morefor us flume trail bikes is located right at the start of this trail and offers cruisers, geared bikes, and even E bikes for rental! Bonus is that if you run from them, you can park with them until you return, which makes accessing this trail that much easier and more fun! We rented a couple of geared bikes for a few hours and easily got from the start to Sand Harbor and back within the allotted time, including a lengthy stay at one of the wonderful beaches you can reach from the trail. Pricing was on par with everything else in the area, staff was super friendly and helpful, and bikes were in great condition. I highly recommend this outfit if you are looking to bike around the Tahoe area. We're definitely looking forward to doing this again.

Fun Mountain Biking Lessons with Awesome Coaches John & Eric - Great for Families!…read more Northstar offers excitement and fun for mountain bikers of all levels, from beginner to advanced, with a wide variety of trails to keep things both interesting and challenging. The resort offers biking lessons, and the group lessons are especially helpful for families wanting to learn some basic skills and gain confidence, in order to better enjoy their day on the mountain. The private lessons are well worth the money for families through advanced riders, and coaches John & Eric rock! They both have years of experience, can definitely help you skill up, and are personable and fun to hang with. For families, these fantastic coaches can turn a nice visit into an awesome day of adventures! With private lessons, riders of different skill levels can be accommodated, so that each biker is able to learn and progress. Thanks to their great coaching, we had family members learn enough to hit intermediate trails on Day 1! The other advantage of private lessons was that the kids/teens had a coach to accompany them since none of the adults could keep up! Parents will appreciate that they can watch and build trust in their coach during the first hour or so and then feel good about bowing out for libations, confident that their kids are riding the more challenging trails with a responsible, biking-experienced adult. Book a mountain biking lesson with Coach John or Eric the next time you're at Northstar! You'll be glad you did!!

It's been years since I last hiked this loop on a hot Summer day in July…read more This is a steep trail and there are parts that narrowed out, but hubby and I walked single file through those parts. We spent a day hanging out here, but we stopped halfway for a break and lunch in some shade. There are plenty of little rivers that flow below the waterfall. Hearing the waterfall kept us chugging along because we were ready to cool off. This wasn't the biggest waterfall, but we enjoyed our time in it. It was very private once we actually got down there and so happy we were in our own little oasis; we had the whole place to ourselves. With all the precipitation we received this year I can only imagine how beautiful and full everything is. I'm planning on revisiting this Summer to see how everything has grown.

Beautiful hike, spectacular views with a waterfall, this hike offers up rewarding treasures that…read moreonly Genoa can deliver. We set off on this trail that starts in the historic town of Genoa at the end of Carson Street which is north of Main Street (same side as the Genoa Bar - look for the Orchard House). You will see a gravel parking lot and the Genoa Loop Trail sign at the start of the trail. We opted for the 6 mile round trip to the waterfall adventure on this particular day as we headed out. With an elevation gain of 1410ft and many switchbacks be sure to carry plenty of H20, wear appropriate footwear, maybe bring something like a granola bar or fruit and as always pack out, what you pack in. The trail is well maintained, but can be narrow & steep at times with bicyclists and furry companions allowed on the trail too. Please be sure to bring leashes along with doggy mutt mitts aka poop bags, there is a trash can and mutt mitts at the beginning of the trail but better to be prepared and there are no poop fairies. Remember everyone is out there to enjoy the beauty of the Great Outdoors so ENJOY IT! We thoroughly enjoyed this hike, stopping along the way to take in the spring flowers, beautiful views, grab our binoculars to look upon Genoa, the Carson River & Jacks Valley. We crossed the creek throughout the trail with foot bridges, butterflies, and the reward of our hiking adventure was the Genoa Waterfall as it cascade over as we listened to it surrounded by the pine trees. So get out there, this is a GREAT waterfall hike with stunning views added bonus you are already in the quaint historic town of Genoa so why not check out the cute town and grab a bite to eat or libation. Enjoy and #moveyourbody!!

Gotta be careful toward the top because some of it is soo loose and so deep that you get stuck like you're on the beach. Overall, still was pretty freaking sweet, especially for being free... can't beat that. Wife and I went on E bikes so the climb was really no problem, we ended up going up four times, and even took the trail all the way to Tamarack lake, which was super fun. There's lots of different options for terrain and size, some of which is a little nutty... I just wish when we went the lodge was open! Maybe it has special hours or it's only open certain days, not sure I would love to find out. If I find out, I'll update my review!

I can't say enough good things about this park that operates on donations. The trails are always well maintained and the people from adult volunteers to riders of all ages are exceptionally kind. I don't ride, so often if my son falls or gets scared on a route where he can't see me, strangers have helped him out. Teenage boys have stood out to me as being especially welcoming and kind to a little guy who is still learning about etiquette and how to ride. If you're hanging out like me, it's also nice to know there are plenty of seating options including a nice table in the advanced section. There's beautiful trees that provide ample shade. Dogs are even allowed as long as they are on leash and they (and all human foot traffic) stay off the mound. There's a drinking fountain with delicious mountain water and two bathroom options - one is a porta potty right at the entrance and the other is the adjacent park's restroom. Bring snacks as they sell ice cream and a few bars. Raley's is down the street and it's a wonderful place to grab a pizza and some beers (upstairs loft has many on draft and is super kid-friendly).
