The Tahoe-Pyramid Trail: Hike and Bike the Truckee River


General Trail Information & Overview (Celebrating 22 Years in 2025!)

The Tahoe-Pyramid Trail (abbreviated as ‘TPT’) started as an audacious idea that once completed, will result in a trail that follows the entire length of the Truckee River, from its source at the stunning Lake Tahoe (6225’/1897m) to the majestic desert terminus of Pyramid Lake (3796’/1157m).

The trail (now at 81% completion) can be enjoyed by hikers, runners, walkers, or cyclists. Once fully completed the trail will descend nearly 2500′(762m) in elevation over the course of the 114-mile(184km) length, using a combination of existing dirt, paved, and historic roads, bike paths, as well as many newly constructed sections of trail and connecting bridges in both urban and more remote trail areas.

The Tahoe-Pyramid Trail is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization and relies on private donations and grants to fund all trail design and construction, as well as trail repairs & trail signage, all of which are managed by an extensive volunteer support team. Trail access is the result of many collaborations with private landowners, utilities, state & local government agencies, other non-profit organizations, as well as local and regional businesses & community leaders.
