Got here on Memorial Day afternoon, just after 2PM and was able to enjoy the views of Lake Tahoe, in pristine blue. There's also a waterfall, but that involves a hike down, so wasn't comfortable with that, but maybe next time. Great to visit after 2 long years.

I arrived to the Vikingsholm parking lot just after 9:00 AM, and it was full, so I went down to Eagle Point Campground, where there was plenty of parking. Either way, it's about a 1-1.5 mile hike down to the lake, and it's probably best to arrive early. However you get there, the park is definitely worth the $10 parking fee. I took a hike on the Rubicon trail around the shoreline, and it was absolutely beautiful. There is a nice little visitor center with some refreshments, and the Vikingsholm house open for tours. Overall, this is a must-visit park when in Lake Tahoe!

This was an outstanding drive up the mountains were pine, and the lake intersected. The area is full of bike baths and camping sites, horses, and even deer. The drive does the best of nature. Just one word, BEAUTIFUL!

This is a stunning place. The beauty of the park and lake are breathtaking. The trail is long and steep on the way back. We also took the walking through Vikingsholm Castle. Highly recommended, it has a very interesting history and it’s very beautiful.

While staying at Lake Tahoe we drove early one morning to Emerald Bay. Lucky we went early as we got the last carpark spot so best to make it a early start The views from the road are stunning, it is a nice walk down to the water/ beach on a good surface track. It is steep so as the sign says if you maybe can’t walk back up don’t walk down. At the little beach area we had a snack and the Grandson went in for a swim, water was very cold. You can hire kayaks/ boats there which looked very popular, by the time we left there were a lot of boats out. The little island just out from the beach area must be one of the most photographed places in the country. It was great to look at the beautifully built old mansion there called VIKINGSHOLM and read the history of the home and Emerald Bay, very interesting that takes you back to a very different gracefull era of the early 1900s. We enjoyed our time there and it is a must place to visit when your in the Lake Tahoe area .

Did the Vikingsholm followed by the Eagle Falls trail to experience this beautiful bay up close. Saw many blooming wildflowers, including the Alphine Lily, Pine Lupine, Wild Columbine, and Woods's Rose. There was also a patch of beach for boaters and walkers with some shaded picnic tables near by. One advice - get there before 8 am to secure a safe parking spot.
