What a difference one mile makes.

The Homewood bike trail connection is done. And while it is not very long, what it does is link sections to make a more contiguous route along the West Shore.

A consortium came together for funding purposes. It is now up to the Tahoe City Public Utility District to maintain the trail as part of its 20 miles of trails.

The new segment goes from Cherry Street to Homewood Mountain Resort. It ends at Sugar Pine Point State Park. One day the path will connect to Meeks Bay.
