Fun for the whole family, this paved path is a relatively level bike ride. This bike ride is in the heart of downtown Tahoe City providing easy access to a wide variety of recreation, shopping, and food and beverages options. You can literally cruise between Tahoe City and Dollar Point without the need for an automobile to enjoy North Tahoe.
The Tahoe City area was and continues to be a commercial hub along the waterfront. Early in its history, Tahoe City was the maritime port where the waters of Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River provided the means to transport vital natural resources for supplying the logging, mining and fishing industries. Toward the late 1800’s a narrow-gauged railroad was built to transport logs and freight between Glenbrook, on the eastern shores of the lake, to Tahoe City en route to the mills in Truckee. The Lakeview bike path along Commons Beach Park was formerly the railroad right-of-way called Swallows Bank and used in the early 1900’s.
