About
California State Parks manage Eagle Point Campground at Emerald Bay State Park. Emerald Bay is among the most photographed places in the world. The park contains a replica of a Nordic castle. The building is one of the best examples of this type of architecture. There are tours of this mansion. It is possible to see the lake from Emerald Bay. Hikers can head to the Desolation Wilderness or the lakeshore if they want to. This is a quote from the Rubicon Trail.
