Eagle Lake
Eagle Lake is a mountain-lake hike above Emerald Bay, reached from the Eagle Falls trailhead. The route goes beyond the roadside waterfall into Desolation Wilderness and requires a separate hiking commitment.

Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Lake Tahoe with our travel partners.
The lake sits among granite slopes, giving a more enclosed mountain setting than the broad views from Highway 89. The approach follows Eagle Creek uphill and makes the destination a walking experience as much as a lakeside pause. Treat the waterfall and lake as one outing rather than scheduling them as duplicate attractions.
