My husband rented a mountain bike & rode this trail while I had a business workshop. He thought it was so great we should go back. We hiked it rather than do another bike rental ( I should mention it was $60.00 to rent for one day- more expensive than our weekend car rental). Wow! It was such a great... More

October great time to do the mountain bike ride. Aspens changing colors, cool temperatures, and limited number of riders.

This is an amazing ride, but not for the faint of heart or out of shape. I've ridden it at least six times. We two 70 year olds doubled the average age. Everyone except the fanatics walk their bikes on the steeps and narrows. The scary parts are where the upside cliff brushes your shoulder to push you off the... More

Can't beat this ride which takes you along the flume trail. It's sits above the lake a couple thousand feet. Looking down while riding along is amazing. So many variations in blues within the waters below. Not difficult and something you have to do if you have mountain bikes.

My wife and I wanted to moutain bike during the first part of our Honeymoon when staying in North Lake Tahoe. The Flume Trail was highly recommended and so we gave it a shot. Our ride quickly went from enjoying to surviving as this trail was much more demanding than expected of described. We are both quite fit (cross-training exercise... More

This is the perfect vacation bike ride, it's easy to rent bikes at trail head with nice people at Spooner lake, ride the trail then take their shuttle back to shop (google 'flume bike trail' for rental info). A dirt road climbs for 4 miles and goes around small lake, a trail descends the 'flume' for ~5 miles then a... More

The Flume Trail is almost always ranked as one of the top ten mountain bike rides in America. It starts at Spooner Lake in Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park on the east shore. If you can take your eyes off the single track that traverses the slopes 2000' above Lake Tahoe, the views across the lake are truly spectacular. For... More

Hard to imagine anyplace with more scenic bike ride than this. The 1000 foot vertical ascent at the beginning makes the following few hours of flat, precarious riding feel earned. Well worth the money and we might even consider this ride again. If you're clumsy or afraid of heights, this is not the ride for you; there were a few... More

We've done this ride with our two teenagers (14 and 15) for the past two summers. Although it is expensive to rent high quality mountain bikes at the trailhead (about $200 for our family of four) it is worth every penny. The first few milesof the trail are a steep uphill. ( I walked part of the way and enjoyed... More
