About this Project
Raise your hand if you’ve ridden the Flume Trail and been bummed by a three-mile sandy logging road descent at the end. TAMBA has partnered with the Tahoe Fund and Lake Tahoe Nevada State Parks to build a multi-purpose singletrack alternative to Tunnel Creek Road. More trail, less logging road!
This is a multi-year project and TAMBA began construction in 2023. TAMBA secured funding for Phase 1 through our partners. TAMBA negan to build the new trail and layout Phase 2 in partnership with GBI (Great Basin Institute).
- A contractor is is now working with State Parks on the trail and plan to have it open for riding Fall 2025.
- The new singletrack trail will connect the Incline Flume at Tunnel Creek Road down to the bottom of Tunnel Creek Road and eventually tie into the new paved Bike Path where users can avoid the Tunnel Creek Road completely.
- Reduce user conflicts on Tunnel Creek Road.
- Improve user experience for ending Incline and Marlette Flume Trails.
