<jats:p>Monthly diel monitoring studies for phosphorus content were conducted (1995–1996 period) for multiple stations on Incline Creek, a mountain stream in the Lake Tahoe basin (California‐Nevada). Large discharge and particulate P (PP) concentration fluctuations occurred during June in the early evening as snowmelt from higher elevations arrived at the lower stream reaches. June diel dissolved organic P (DOP) concentrations steadily increased, while soluble reactive P (SRP) concentrations remained constant. June diel PP concentrations associated with sand‐sized particles (PP<jats:sub>sand</jats:sub>: >63 μm) exhibited a clockwise hysteresis, indicating possible sediment source depletion on a daily timescale. June diel PP associated with silt‐ and clay‐sized particles (PP<jats:sub>SC</jats:sub>: >0.45 μm and <63 μm) exhibited counterclockwise hysteresis behavior, suggesting a potential groundwater contribution to PP<jats:sub>SC</jats:sub>. PP<jats:sub>SC</jats:sub> comprised the majority of PP concentration, except during high‐discharge events when PP<jats:sub>sand</jats:sub> concentration was dominant. Areal PP loading, specifically PP<jats:sub>sand</jats:sub>, appears to originate primarily from the lower eastern branch of Incline Creek during the spring snowmelt season. Possible sources include a ski resort/parking lot and a golf course. DOP and SRP areal loads were greatest from the undeveloped upper subwatershed, suggesting that natural factors such as slope are influencing loading of small‐sized P fractions.</jats:p>
