Kayaking - Emeral Bay
September 2006
Emerald Bay State sits at the south end of Lake Tahoe. In 1996 the area became and underwater preserve due to the sunken ships in the bay. The bay is shallow in comparison to the rest of Lake Tahoe, and in the 'old days' reckless ships struck ground.
We paddled from the south end of the lake into Emerald Bay and stopped Fannette Island, the only island in Lake Tahoe. After pulling our kayaks up onto the rocks, we hiked up a set of rough-hewn granite steps to the 150-foot-high summit of the island, crowned by the shell of a once-grand stone structure known as the Tea House.
