Getting
Here
Sitting on the edge of a pier gazing at the boats
bobbing in the distance with your toes dipping in the
gentle waves, you will feel a million miles from
civilization, let alone a major airport. Most people are
surprised at how easy it is to get to our pristine
alpine lake nestled high in the Sierra.
San Francisco is an easy 4-hour drive along I-80,
Sacramento is less than two hours away, and the
Reno-Tahoe International Airport is less than an hour
away from The Lake. The Truckee-Tahoe Airport (TRK) is
open to all aircraft (though there is no scheduled
service). There is charter service and maintenance
available. For more information, call (530)587-4119.
Bus
Greyhound (800-231-2222) provides bus service to
Truckee, where you can take TART to your destination,
and to Reno where you can hop on a shuttle.
Car
From Reno: There are two options, one takes you through
the historic town of Truckee and the other winds up the
Mt. Rose Highway into the community of Incline Village.
-
Follow Hwy. 395 south
until you see signs for the Mt. Rose, Hwy. 431 exit.
Take it and follow the highway as it curves over the
summit and then back down to The Lake. You will
dead-end at a T junction where a left turn will take
you to Incline Village and Tahoe's serene East
Shore, and a right turn will take you into
California's North Shore communities.
-
Get on Hwy. 395 and
follow it north to I-80, where you will go west
(left). Follow the Interstate for about 20 miles
until you see signs for Truckee. To go to Tahoe City
or the West Shore, take the exit for Highway 89 and
follow it south past Squaw Valley into Tahoe City.
If you are heading to any place between Incline
Village and Tahoe City, take the first exit for
Highway 267. Take a left after the off ramp, then
another left at the next stop sign. Follow 267 over
the summit and down to The Lake into Kings Beach.
From San Francisco or
Sacramento: Follow I-80 eastbound until you reach your
Truckee exit. (see above.)
Train
Amtrak provides service to Truckee. For reservations and
information, check out their website (www.amtrak.com),
or call (800)872-7245.
