OHV road to become bike trail in Kings Beach

The Truckee Tahoe Airport board on July 26 board approved $85,000 to build a multi-feature trail in Kings Beach. 

The project will transform a current OHV trail with major erosion issues into a multi-feature trail for use by mountain bikes, motorbikes, hikers and equestrians.

The U.S. Forest Service with volunteers from the Tahoe Area Mountain Bike Association will build the trail. The North Tahoe Public Utility District and the Tahoe Fund are also partners in the project.

There will be a trail design workshop in September. Final alignments and engineering work will be completed later this summer. The majority of trail work is slated for the 2018 season.
