About this campground
Commemorative Overland Emigrant Trail - Stampede Trailhead. Start your hike or ride where the road to Captain Roberts Boat Ramp intersects Dog Valley Road on the south side of Stampede Reservoir (east of Russel Valley on County Road 889). Trailhead is on the north side of Dog Valley Road (County Road 889). The full length of the COET is 15 miles, spanning from Stampede Reservoir to Alder Creek Road near the Tahoe Donner Subdivision in the Town of Truckee. Many forest and county roads intersect the trail with multiple places to start or end your day. Intermediate skill level with rolling hills to climb and ascend. Heavy use, especially on weekends. This trailhead parking is not as busy as the COET Prosser Trailhead, but the trail is still very popular. Hiking and mountain biking.
