Majestic beauty |
Highway 89 at Meeks Bay Lake Tahoe, CA 96145 United States +1 530 525 7277 |
Majestic Emerald Bay is just a small part of this beautiful and pristine State Park covering 1,830 acres of the Sierra Nevada mountains. You will find six miles of both rocky and sandy beaches on the magnificent shoreline of Lake Tahoe. Also available to visitors are picnic areas, camping and miles of hiking trails. Enjoy nature and see the beautiful variety of trees and plants that are indigenous to the Lake Tahoe area. Along with the Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines, red and white fir, cedar, junipers and cottonwood, the park is brimming with gnarled and stunted sugar pines that grow in thin granite soil. Take a stroll along the Balancing Rock nature trail and see a 130-ton rock that balances precariously on a slender stone base. This has been a favorite attraction since the late 1800s. It's a short and easy half-mile, self-guided walk that shouldn't be missed. Plan on spending the entire day, because once you get here, you won't want to leave. An entrance fee of $4 is charged per car. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Springtime in Tahoe |
Sugar Pine Point State Park 7360 West Lake Boulevard, P.O Box 266 Lake Tahoe, CA 96142 United States +1 530 525 7232 |
The merry month of May is when Tahoe residents take a deep breath after the winter crowds have departed and before the summer hordes of tourists descend, making it a perfect month to enjoy the Sugar Pine Point Recreation Area in relative peace. The weather is warming, though still pleasantly cool, the ground is thawing, and in the meadows the first of the vivid wildflowers are springing up everywhere. Review © 2007, Wcities |
