Rubicon Bay

Rubicon Bay is located down the westshore of Lake Tahoe, where the water is so stunning it takes your breath away. The large boulders in the water add a unique touch and create spell bounding picture taking opportunities. DL Bliss State Park is also located here with water access and a campground. There is a trail that hugs the cliff over looking the water and leads you to another pristine spot-Emerald Bay. D.L. Bliss and Emerald Bay State Parks cover six miles of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline. The Rubicon Trail,  hugs the mountainside linking the two parks and offers grand views of the lake. The Indians called it the “Lake in the Sky.” These parks offer public access to the lake. For the tree-loving hiker, you will see Red and White Firs, joined by the stately Ponderosa Pine, Jeffrey Pine and Incense Cedar.  You will also see Aspens and Maples. For the flower lovers keep an eye out for Monkeyflower, Columbine, Lupine and Leopard Lily. The location is central to either continue heading south to South Lake Tahoe or back north to Tahoe City. The terrain of the Rubicon Bay area rises up quickly from the water to create areas of breathtaking views of the lake and great places to hike.
