EMERALD BAY, LAKE TAHOE Emerald Bay, about midway on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, is surrounded by steep and heavily wooded ridges, which form a magnificent background. The reflections from these green slopes in the waters of this Bay, present a mirror of emerald hue in striking contrast to the deep blues and pale greens of Lake Tahoe beyond. The Bay is about three miles long and over a half mile wide.
