Tahoe–Pyramid Trail

The Tahoe–Pyramid Trail is a planned 114-mile (183 km) long-distance pedestrian and bicycle trail which will run between Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, principally along the routing of the Truckee River.

History

The effort to construct a pedestrian path between the two connected lakes was started in November 2003, undertaken at first by Janet Phillips.^[1] The organization responsible for planning and construction of the trail, Tahoe–Pyramid Bikeway, was formed in 2005 (the current name was adopted in 2018 to reflect its multi-use function).^[2]

The western portion between Tahoe and the Reno–Sparks area opened to hikers on October 5, 2019,^[1] completing the California section of the trail. As of October 2019^[update], two sections are not complete: Vista Blvd to Mustang and USA Parkway to Wadsworth. The Porrtion to Mustang is blocked by landowner issues as of January 2018^[update].^[3]
