Emerald Bay Sightseeing. There’s no better way to take in Lake Tahoe’s Emerald Bay than by taking a cruise on a “Mississippi-style” paddlewheel boat, the Tahoe Queen or M.S. Dixie II.
Heavenly Valley Ski Resort Hours & Information
Emerald Bay / Emerald Bay State Park. One of the most photogenic spots in the world is Emerald Bay, the tiny bay at the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe. Emerald Bay State Park affords amazing views of the mountains, the lake and Tahoe’s only island, Fannette Island. Hike down along the falls trail to the shore at the head of the bay to find the striking structure known as Vikingsholm. In 1928, Mrs. Lora J. Knight, a wealthy Chicago widow, purchased this then-isolated site and had a home built-a fully detailed reproduction of a Norse fortress, circa 800 A.D.
