Travel Information

Bonsai Rock is about a 20-mile drive from Carson City, between Hidden Beach and Sand Harbor Overlook along Rt. 28. From the south, follow US-50 west and turn right onto NV-28. Go for about 6 and 1/2 miles and the spot will be on your left. From the north, starting at Incline Village, follow NV-28 south towards Sand Harbor State Park and the spot is about a mile past Sand Harbor State Park. Either way, you can use the GPS coordinates provided for the exact spot. Once there, you'll see a couple of footpaths down to the water. It's a little steep, but just a few yards to the shore.
