One of the major reasons these landmarks have been so well preserved underwater is due to the cold temperature of Lake Tahoe. According to the park, fall is the best time to explore this underwater world.
Emerald Bay State Park is located at 138 Emerald Bay Rd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150. To learn more about this fascinating new underwater trail, you can visit the California Department of Parks & Recreation webpage here.
