DESCRIPTION

Words cannot describe the beauty of Lake Tahoe's famous Flume Trail. We start our run from Spooner Lake, travelling up North Canyon and down to Marlette Lake. A trip around the lake brings you to the start of the Flume Trail. This is usually one of our longer runs of the summer - a 30K (18 miles) out-and-back. See Spooner Lake for information on shorter runs starting from the same point.

Dogs strictly on leash around Spooner Lake and the parking area. They're OK on North Canyon and Marlette Lake but don't even consider bringing Rover into the bicycle traffic on Flume Trail.

There are restrooms at Spooner Lake State Park, 2 pit toilets up North Canyon, and one at Marlette Lake..

There is currently a $5.00 per vehicle park entry fee

Take US HWY 50 to Spooner Summit and turn North onto SR 28. The entrance to the park is on your right, 1/2 mile down 28. We generally take the first right after the park entrance. Do not turn towards the bike/ski rental cabin (off to the right) but instead, turn left and park on the south side of the bathrooms.

We usually carpool from Round Hill Safeway.
