Emerald Bay Maritime Heritage Trail at Lake Tahoe

 

The Sierra State Parks Foundation has opened an underwater trail at Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. A video is available showcasing the newly opened trail.

The Parks Service also has a set of small informative dive slates for purchase.

At 6,200 ft this is an altitude dive in fresh water, with a temperature around 65 F. Scuba divers and snorkellers at Lake Tahoe must remain within 100 ft of a dive flag float per Nevada law, with steep fines for violations due to the risk of a boating injury.
