![]() ![]() After a brief climb to clear the ridge around the lake, it's a smooth, rather steep 2,000' vertical descent down to Highway 28. It leaves the mian trail (road) from the flats above Marlette Lake right before the long downhill to Spooner Lake. However, it does not end up at the Spooner Lake parking area. This is an alternative to the North Canyon Trail to get down from Marlette Lake. When you get to Sunflower Hill Road, there is a sign there that says no bikes any further on the Rim Trail, so I guess that 2.6 mile section is out too, and you must turn right. Note: The map lists the 5.5 mile section from Spooner to Snow Valley Peak as no bikes. The Rim Trail section, unlike the even graded Flume Trail, does have some ups and downs as well as some technical sections. Then you meet the Tahoe Rim Trail and follow it back to North Canyon Road Canyon. It can be looped by turning right at Tunnel Creek Road rather than left. Not everyone wants to shuttle this run as a one way trip, and fortunately, there are many other options. In dry summer conditions, Tunnel Creek Road can get a little bit sketchy if the sand gets too soft. The uphill to Marlette Lake is strenuous, and will turn into a hike a bike for some. If your doing the standard car shuttle, leaving from Spooner Lake and coming out on Tunnel Chute Road, this is technically an easy to moderate ride. That is, if you can take your eyes off the trail. While on the Flume Trail you will see pieces of the actual flume from time to time. The actual Flume Trail starts at Marlette Lake and runs until you reach Tunnel Creek Road. There is only one Flume Trail, but there are a number of trails in the area besides the Flume Trail. The Flume Trail is one of Lake Tahoe's most well known mountain biking trails. ![]() Other Users - Hikers, Official vehicles on access roadsįlume Trail Bike Shop - Spooner Lake parking lot.īook a Flume Trail shuttle with Wanna Ride Tahoe.Ībout Lake Tahoe - Biking - The Flume Trail The Flume Trail
