레이크 타호 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Upper Velma Lake is a beautiful alpine lake surrounded by pine forests and large, flat, open boulders. There is a lot of dispersed camping along its edges, and on clear nights, the stars shine brightly and are reflected in the calm waters.

During our hike in mid October, we couldn’t see the waterfall as it was almost dried up. Considering the height of the bridge it must look stunning after the raining season.

Vikingsholm beach has a dock that is an L shape, and visitors can walk out on it and get a great view of Fannette Island and the white sandy shores of Emerald Bay. Enjoy the crystal clear blue water of Lake Tahoe, with an average clarity of 70.1 feet.

Just off the main Eagle Loop, down a short spur trail is a great viewpoint. From here, you get fantastic views of Emerald Bay and Lake Tahoe. This is a scenic detour that is a nice way to add a little extra mileage to your hike.

Vikingsholm is situated at the head of Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe, and is renowned for its Scandinavian architectural style and stunning natural surroundings. Built in 1929 by Lora Josephine Knight, who was inspired by Scandinavian fjords, the estate is considered one of the finest examples of such architecture outside the Nordic countries. The property spans 232 acres, including Lake Tahoe's only island and a unique waterfall flowing directly into the lake. After Knight's death in 1945, the estate was sold to Lawrence Holland and later to Harvey West, who donated it to the State of California in 1953. Now part of the Harvey West Unit of Emerald Bay State Park, Vikingsholm is open for tours from June to September, accessible via a one-mile trail or by boat. There is a visitor center, beach access, hiking trail access at this spot.

The trailhead for the popular hike up to Eagle Falls is right off of the main Emerald Bay Road in South Lake Tahoe. Before you even begin your hike you get great views of Emerald Bay. Although there is a large parking lot, it can fill up fast, so be sure to get here early or carpool.

This backcountry gem is right on the path to and from Maggie's Peaks — a great opportunity to take a relaxing dip or just enjoy the beauty if you want to keep running past.

Half Moon Lake shines in the sun while you are making your way up to Dicks Pass. Take a minute to catch your breath and enjoy the stunning view.
