Property Information
n 1969, Emerald Bay was designated a National Natural Landmark for its brilliant panorama of mountain-building processes and glacier carved granite.
The natural beauty, geology and history of this unique island make it one of the highlights of any visit to the Lake Tahoe area.
The park features Vikingsholm, one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture in the western hemisphere. The "Tea House" on Fannette Island, the only island to be found in all of Lake Tahoe.
Emerald Bay was designated an underwater state park in 1994. It is the resting place for many boats, launches and barges used in the lake before the turn of the century, during the heyday of Emerald Bay Resort and used in the construction of Vikingsholm.

Aquatic Weed Control in Progress
During the summer of 2009, you may notice a buoy line in a small area along the north side of Emerald Bay. This area is undergoing active invasive weed treatment and removal which could be disrupted by boats anchoring or operating within the buoy line. Please steer clear of these buoys to ensure effective control of the invasive plant, Eurasian watermilfoil. If left untreated, this weed could spread rapidly and form a dense mat of vegetation on the water surface. These thick weed beds are dangerous to swim in, difficult to sail or canoe through, get caught in boat propellers and fishing equipment, and decrease water clarity. Thank you very much for your assistance!
