"Set along a jewel-toned stretch of Lake Tahoe shoreline, this picturesque bay centers on a small island reached by boat and dominated by a 38-room Vikingsholm mansion noted for its architecture. Trails lead to the bay and boat access to the island, and the park features California’s first maritime heritage underwater trail, which passes by barges and boats now resting on the lakebed—making it a destination for both scenic hiking and underwater history." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
