Description

Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail is a very well maintained and moderately trafficked loop. There are kiosks and maps along the route, informing visitors of the history of the area and marking the other trails that are around this loop.

In the spring, beautiful wildflowers and sloping green hills canvas the landscape.

Other Information

Check weather conditions before visiting as snow accumulation may make the trail hard to find. The trail may be explored by snowshoes during the winter months. 

Snowmobiles are restricted to the southwest end of the meadow. 

Read more about the trail's history and recreational uses on the Nevada Land Trust's website, or learn more about the trail in the Tahoe Trail Guide.
