- Title: Tahoe Queen on Emerald Bay
- Description: Translucent green water, sheer cliffs, a spectacular waterfall, pines that march down to the water’s edge, Emerald Bay has always drawn visitors to revel in its beauty. Called “the most beautiful inland harbor in the world”, this western arm of Lake Tahoe with its abundance of natural attributes also contains the only true island on the lake. It was Eagle Bay by the 1860s, so named for the American Eagles that nested on its southern shore. Painters, camera enthusiasts and reporters began to spread the fame of this jewel about the time its name was listed on an 1874 map as Emerald Bay. It became a popular summer resort destination by 1880. With the completion of the Rim of the Lake road, Emerald Bay could be seen from above, which made this section of the lake a must-see stop for tourists. Vikingsholm, a large villa built near Eagle creek in 1928, is now open to tours and maintained by the NPS.
