You MUST stop at this beautiful lake during the daytime! The lake was amazing and we loved the waterfalls and trails they had in order to see the lake! The water was like glass, so completely clear, a good amount of parking spots. They did have a good viewing area as well with more parking and space for views. Overall, if you are looking for amazing water and views, go here. A must visit!

It's definitely a sight to see. The natural beauty of Emerald Bay is unmatched, and if you can find a cool, peaceful spot to just chill out and soak it all in.

A beautiful little slice of Lake Tahoe, with a perfect view of Emerald Bay, the larger lake behind it, and the mountain backdrop. There’s several hiking trails in the park, with Vikingsholm and Eagle Falls being the most popular, and you can combine them if you’re up for a longer trek. Vikingsholm seems like a cool place to see if it’s open, but when we came it was closed for the season. Regardless, it was cool to get down to the shore and feel the chilly water (although the view was honestly better from the parking lot). The trail can get icy or muddy depending on the weather, so wear good shoes and watch your step!

Eagle Falls was frozen on Friday and completely melted by Sunday - in early February! Crazy weather.. Otherwise, it's a very pretty area to visit and hike!

Beautiful views, great hiking (Rubicon Trail), BUT the worst toilets I’ve ever seen. They hadn’t been cleaned in a week. 🤢 Also, parking was a nightmare on a Friday in mid-October.
