Emerald Bay
South Lake Tahoe, California
One of the most photogenic spots in the world is this tiny bay at the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe. Emerald Bay State Park affords amazing views of the mountains, the lake, and Tahoe's only island, Fannette Island. Hike down along the falls trail to the shore at the head of the bay to find the striking structure known as Vikingsholm
(accessible only on foot or by boat).
Outdoor Recreation
- Emerald Bay Hikes. Two nice day hikes out of Emerald Bay. The first, Granite Lake/Maggies Peaks, offers quick access to a nice backcountry lake and an opportunity to bag a couple of panoramic peaks on the edge of Lake Tahoe. The second, to Eagle, Velma and Fontanillis Lakes, is a longer journey to a series of backcountry lakes below Dicks Peak.
- Mt. Price & Mt. Agassiz. Killer views and an airy traverse make a visit to these two remote peaks a must-do for the Desolation peakbagger.
- Mt. Tallac. A steep day hike to a rocky summit offering the best views in the entire Tahoe region.
- Silver Peak from Squaw Valley. A quick dayhike to a fine vista to escape the crowds at Squallywood.
