Emerald Bay, Natural bay at Lake Tahoe, United States.
The waters of Emerald Bay reflect the surrounding granite cliffs and pine forests, reaching depths of 250 feet at the center point.
Designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1969, Emerald Bay became one of California's first underwater state parks in 1994.
Leonard Palme designed the Vikingsholm mansion in 1929, incorporating Scandinavian architectural elements into the 38-room lakeside structure.
The bay extends 1.7 miles in length and measures two-thirds of a mile wide, with temperatures ranging from 40°F to 75°F during summer.
Fannette Island, situated within Emerald Bay, stands as the sole island in Lake Tahoe, featuring the remnants of a stone teahouse.
