Lake Tahoe is renowned for its tremendous OHV trail legacy. Much of the Lake Tahoe area is designated for public use, with off-roading opportunities are abundant. The Rubicon Trail is the area’s most famous route. Located approximately 80 miles east of Sacramento and 35 miles east of Placerville, the route leads from Georgetown (at California Highway 49) to Lake Tahoe (near Tahoma), a total distance of approximately 22 miles. The trail is a non-maintained County road located in El Dorado and Placer Counties. Parts of the trail pass through the Eldorado National Forest and portions of private lands.
