Tahoe Donner Trails
Please help us protect our trails and roads by staying off muddy trails. See below for a list of open trails.
The Tahoe Donner Trail System is the ultimate playground for hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers and equestrians with more than 46 miles of singletrack trails and 30 miles of doubletrack administrative roads spanning over 5,000 acres. With thousands of users – horses and dogs included – it is essential that we all work together and observe basic trail rules and etiquette to keep Tahoe Donner Lands and Open Space safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Pursuant to US Forest Service Order 17-26-01, the road that accesses Truckee Donner Land Trust’s Lower Carpenter Valley property will be closed for 2026 to complete forest health work in the area. The Alder 89 WUI (wilderness urban interface) project closes all Forest Service lands in the area. Click here to read the Forest Service order.
This project is vital to reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire damage not only to Lower Carpenter Valley but also to adjacent neighborhoods, including Tahoe Donner and Prosser Lake View. The result will be a healthier, more resilient forest, which benefits all of our region’s protected open space and the natural resources on which we all rely.
