Marlette Lake and Chimney Beach Loop Trail

This trail offers great views of Lake Tahoe. The trail goes uphill from the lake level up to Marlette Lake, with a view of Lake Tahoe and Marlette Lake from a point high up the trail. It's mostly shaded at the lower elevations and passes through a sugarpine forest. It is obvious about fourfifths of the trail, but the last steep descent is hard to follow. The trail is great in October when the aspens are golden. The parking lot on the opposite side of the street is where the trail leads to Chimney Beach.
