Your Spring Bike-Crawl Itinerary in South Lake Tahoe

Spring in South Lake Tahoe is prime time for sunshine, mountain views, and cruising the scenic bike paths that wind around the lake. If you’re staying at either The Moose and Maple Lodge or Blue Jay Lodge (both cozy, centrally-located, and bike-friendly), you’re already steps away from one of the best spring day plans you can have: a bike-crawl through South Lake Tahoe. Here's your local-approved itinerary, packed with lakeside views, great eats, craft drinks, and a few hidden gems along the way.

Kick off your day with a strong latte and a hearty breakfast at Driftwood Café in Heavenly Village. Think house-made granola, mountain-style scrambles, and breakfast burritos that keep you pedaling for hours. It’s less than a five-minute ride from either of our lodges.

Cruise down to Lakeview Commons for some postcard-worthy views of Lake Tahoe. There’s a bike path that hugs the shoreline—perfect for casual riding and photo ops. If the weather’s warm, kick off your shoes and relax by the water for a bit.

Head back onto the bike path and make your way west to the Tahoe Pourhouse. This wine bar-meets-bistro is the perfect spot for a springtime wine flight and a charcuterie board. Bonus: it’s near the Tahoe Art League Gallery if you want to squeeze in a little local culture.

A local favorite just off the path, Keys Café is ideal for a light lunch or midday refuel. Try their sandwiches or smoothies and chill in their laid-back outdoor seating.

This dog-friendly taproom sits right on the path and serves up a rotating lineup of craft beers with a chill backyard vibe. Grab a pint, sit back in an Adirondack chair, and soak up the Tahoe sun.

Wrap up the ride with a golden hour view from Regan Beach. It’s the perfect low-key spot to reflect on a great day of riding, sipping, and exploring.

When your legs are toast and you're ready to kick back, your cozy Adventure Stays room is waiting. Both The Moose and Maple Lodge and Blue Jay Lodge are minutes away from this entire itinerary. Book your spring stay now at Adventure Stays!
