Watson Lake via Tahoe City High School
Watson Lake is above and northwest of Lake Tahoe. The ride from Watson Lake out to the
"Lava Rocks" is a fun, single-track ride, and the view of Lake Tahoe from the
Lava Rocks is spectacular. However, there are many ways to get to Watson Lake and the
"lava rocks." This ride describes a loop from Tahoe City, which includes a lot
of climbing on dirt roads to get to the top, and some technical single-track downhill to
get to back.
