Trail Overview

From the south side, the trail to Tahoe Lake starts with the Dovre Peak Bypass, either from Fan Creek Campground or Elk Bend Campground. There are several options where the Dovre Peak Bypass meets the Tahoe Lake Trail. Near the top of the Tahoe Lake Trail, there are multiple overlooks to choose from to view the South Fork Trask River Valley. You will not be able to see Tahoe Lake directly as it's shielded by trees. The trail winds down into the valley and there is a sharp left toward Tahoe Lake.
