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,
