Incline Creek

Incline Creek is a 5.2-mile (8.4 km) southward-flowing stream originating in the Carson Range, Sierra Nevada in the northeast Lake Tahoe Basin in Washoe County in western Nevada.

The Incline Railroad dated back to 1875, and carried the lumber up to a wooden flume that floated the lumber east, down the flume, for transport on the V+T Railroad.

Like Third Creek, it deposits heavy sediment loads into Lake Tahoe.

[4] The Folsom Camp Loop is a relatively easy 6.2 miles (10.0 km) trail that begins at Diamond Peak Resort and ascends along Incline Creek to historic Folsom Camp before returning on the other side of the creek.

The historic camp is named for lumberman Gilman Folsom, who with Sam Marlette, employed 400 Chinese laborers cutting timber for use in Virginia City.
