“On behalf of the Tahoe Fund, we are thrilled to have been part of this project by bringing together partners who bridged the $75,000 funding gap required to build this gorgeous trail,” said Tahoe Fund CEO Amy Berry. The trail features some of the only slick rock riding in Tahoe to create a technical, physical ride with some of the best views around the lake. Crews removed approximately nine tons of rock from the trail, and moved roughly three tons of rock to make tread. The USFS cut the top quarter mile of trail through a scree field, and TAMBA crews and volunteers, led by crew leader Scott Brown, were responsible for the intricate, technical rock work that was required.

The trail connects the Angora Lakes parking area to the Glen Alpine trailhead parking area near Lily Lake.Ĭonstruction started in 2018, however due to the challenges of building through dense vegetation and unforgiving talus, professional engineering and building crews were required to complete the work. The Lily Lake trail has an elevation change of 800 feet and features mosaic-like rock work, including aspects unique to the Tahoe trail repertoire - slickrock, boulder traverses, and an expansive view of Fallen Leaf Lake on the edge of a 75-foot cliff. The trail was created to reduce traffic on narrow roads and offer new access to hikers and mountain bikers who want a car-free way to enjoy Fallen Leaf Lake, Glen Alpine Springs and Desolation Wilderness. Designed to connect to the newly built trail system on Angora Ridge, the Lily Lake Trail offers stunning, unmatched views of Desolation Wilderness, Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe.
