Motorcycling[edit]

Motorcycle by Lake Tahoe

The lake and its scenic environs provide many opportunities for motorcyclists to ride both on and off-road. The most popular circuit that goes around the lake runs clockwise and starts in South Lake Tahoe on the California side.^[140] Riding north via route 89 allows riders to pull over to the right to admire the views without crossing traffic. Continuing onto highway 28 East, and finally, onto US-50 West will complete the full tour. Doing it in reverse allows experiencing the views from a different perspective. Kingsbury Grade (highway 207) is another popular route with local motorcyclists. It is only 11 miles long from South Lake Tahoe to Mottsville and can also be ridden in both directions. Some of the most scenic motorcycling stops and views around the lake :

• Emerald Bay – southwest Lake Tahoe, off Highway 89
• Fallen Leaf Lake – 6 miles southwest of South Lake, via Highway 89
• Zephyr Cove – 6 miles north of South Lake, off Highway 50
• Cave Rock – 9 miles north of South Lake, off Highway 50
• Sand Harbor – northwest Lake Tahoe, off Highway 28
• Kings Beach – North Lake Tahoe, off Highway 28
• Donner Lake – 21 miles north of Lake Tahoe, off I-80
