Snowmobiling in the Lake Tahoe Basin

Welcome!

Snowmobiling is open on most National Forest Lands within the Lake Tahoe Basin, provided there is adequate snow cover on the ground to prevent resource damage. Wilderness, selected roadless areas, small urban lots and developed ski areas are closed to all motorized vehicles. It is your responsibility to be aware of where you are at all times by carrying a map and knowing how to read it. Look for a snowmobile symbol at trailheads indicating snowmobile use is permitted in the area.

Follow the links on the right for detailed information on Snowmobiling.

Mt. Tallac and Taylor Creek Area

From the Taylor Creek Sno-Park, winter recreation opportunities abound. One may take an easy winter tour using cross country skis or snowshoes through flat, forested areas to the shores of Fallen Leaf Lake. Or, for those with winter backcountry experience looking for more of a challenge, one could make the trek up Mt. Tallac for great skiing and snowboarding
