Hawley Grade Rd Access

Hawley Grade Rd Access provides parking and trailhead access to the Upper Truckee River area in the Lake Tahoe Basin, featuring a 1. 8-mile out-and-back trail with multiple waterfalls and scenic river views.

The access point is located at the end of Upper Truckee Road south of Lake Tahoe and offers free parking with opportunities to explore both the official Hawley Grade trail and unofficial routes along the river itself.

Note that waterfall crossings may require rock hopping, particularly during spring snowmelt, and the area can have snowy cliff edges.
