Emerald Bay is one of the most famous landmarks of Lake Tahoe and the subject of innumerable photographs and postcards. Stop at Inspiration Point and you'll see why. While the water all around Tahoe is striking blue, here at Emerald Bay it takes on a slightly green tinge due to the shallower depth. Fannette Island, the only island in Tahoe, is also visible from here.

The Bayview Campground would offer a good parking lot. However, it is now closed until Spring 2025. Maybe one has to consider parking along the street during day trips.
