Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 26 hikers
Hiking around Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay offers amazing views of the bay's vibrant emerald-green waters, more vibrant than other parts of the lake due to its shallow depth. Visitors can explore Fannette Island, home to the remains of a teahouse, and tour the old 1929 Scandinavian-style Vikingsholm Castle. The Eagle Falls Trail provides a scenic 2-mile hike to Eagle Lake, while the Rubicon Trail hugs the bay’s edge with stunning lake views. Emerald Bay also has California's first maritime heritage trail, showcasing sunken ships and barges. Nearby, the Tallac Historic Site offers a glimpse into Lake Tahoe’s early 1900s history. This area has a ton to do, and hikers can easily spend the whole day exploring.
