Trail Use

To keep our trails in top shape all summer long, PLEASE stay off them if they’re muddy. Using muddy trails, whether by foot, horse or bicycle, causes major damage to the trail and the surrounding environment. Repairs to the trail are often expensive and labor-intensive.

Please do your part as a conscious trail steward and stay off muddy trails.

Note: Tahoe Donner is beginning to practice adaptive trail management and reclassifying some trails. All trails are multidirectional and open to all user groups unless otherwise marked. Please follow signage that dictates trail directionality or user groups prohibited from the trail.

Voluntary Summer Public Trail Pass Program

Thank you for contributing to the Tahoe Donner Association trail system. This program is a voluntary monetary contribution for public trail users. Its purpose is to recognize the financial commitment and trail maintenance efforts the association has made and continues to make on the 60+ miles of multi-use single-track and double-track summer trails.

For those who are not Tahoe Donner members, a suggested donation of $5 for adult and $2 for child daily use, or $30 for adult and $15 for child summer pass is encouraged and available for donation at Alder Creek Adventure Center, Bikeworks and Member Services.

Trail access for members and guests of members is free.
