Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe

  1. The rock coming out of the water on the left of the picture is called Fannette Island. It appears to be floating in the middle of Emerald Bay. The granite core rises about 150 feet above the lake level. On top the highest point on the island are the ruins of the only man made structure: a Tea House. The Tea House was erected by the island's owner Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight. Mrs. Knight was also the principal force behind the building of the other structures around the bay. The largest structure is called Vikingsholm that I will describe in another blog.
