Weaver Lake

Weaver Lake FS 843-043 is a trail in the Tahoe National Forest that branches off from Bowman Lake Road. The trail starts at 5600 feet, climbs to 5900 feet, and descends to 5300 feet. The trail begins with a climb up over rocks and roots and has some scenic views of Lake Bowman. The trail continues upwards with loose rock, roots, and ruts to navigate, then descends its way to McMurray Lake, where there are a few spots to camp near the lake shore. Beyond McMurray Lake, the route continues toward Weaver Lake and becomes progressively more technical. Rocks, roots, and ruts are more frequent, and uneven sections will have you picking careful lines if in a stock 4x4. The trail can become significantly more challenging in wet or snowy conditions.
