Lots of lovely forest and a creek in spots. |
Important: Parking lot is only open May 1 - October 31st (although walk-ins are allowed year round). This trail features a moderate waterfall (at least in spring and early summer), some barns, gondolas, and fantastic views of Lake Tahoe. There's a variety of routes available for the lower part, then up higher you're on a connector that leads to the Tahoe Rim Trail. You can continue on the Tahoe Rim Trail to make as long of a hike as you'd like. It goes steadily up the mountainside, but with lots of switchbacks so it's never dramatically steep. See the trail map at parks.nv.gov/forms/VanSickl...ckle_Bi_State_Park_Map.pdf |
This is mostly a forest road, which makes it a good wide trail through picturesque forest. You'll get to the creek with no problem. Supposedly there's a way to a waterfall, but I was only able to go a short distance upstream before it became impassable -- just saw a bunch of two foot waterfalls. You can extend this hike as far as you like past the creek, just keep following the forest roads, but there's nothing particularly different to see that I know of. Sporadic cell signal at the start and all along the trail -- can't be relied on but you get lucky sometimes. |
Good in spring with lots of wildflowers. A variety of routes are possible. Pointed Rocks is a 3 mile loop on this trail: www.mtdemocrat.com/prospec...hiker-pointed-rocks-trail/ |

You'll come to a junction with the option of either Lyons Lake or Sylvia Lake. Lyons Lake offers a steeper option than Sylvia Lake. |
This is a very small park, but you can walk a mile or two loop through the wetlands and the cemetery. To make a longer hike of it you could cross the street to Browns Ravine Trail. |

This will take you about 400 feet elevation difference down to the river, then back up. |
Alternately, there appears to be a way in from the opposite end at the end of Adam Court -- which is a neighborhood where parking might be frowned on so you might want to walk in from Harvard Way. Don't try to enter from Meadow Wood because that's a gated street. |
Very limited parking, room for maybe 4 vehicles, so this isn't likely to work for you on a weekend. It's just a gravel area by the road, on the left if heading north or the right if heading south. Head down the dirt trail and you'll join the ~17 mile Browns Ravine Trail in the middle, next to the lovely wooden bridge over New York Creek. |

This is a new trail connecting Henningsen-Lotus Park to the Marshall Gold DIscovery State Historic Park. The connector itself is about a mile long, but you continue on the Monroe Ridge Trail from there. You can take it to Sutter's Mill or the Marshall Monument or the river or the rest of the sights in the area, and make a loop coming up the other end of the Monroe Ridge Trail. Ridgetop views should be good. Quite steep, but safe switchbacks all the way up the hill. Trail dedication news: www.abc10.com/article/news...b2b-42c5-9d00-1734bf122f8e |
