Lake Tahoe photos
Emerald Bay is certainly Tahoe’s most iconic location for sunrise shots.
Emerald Bay Pulloff #3 Larger than Pulloff #1, holds about 10 cars. Excellent, unobstructed view view of Emerald Bay.
Emerald Bay Pulloff #4
My favorite spot for photographing Emerald Bay. If you walk toward the bay around the small ‘hill’ next to the parking, you will find lots of great photo perspectives. Easy walk. Parking for 6+ cars.
Nearby Emerald Bay “Boulder” Photo Spot
#4 Emerald Bay Hwy 89 Pullout
However 7/10th of a mile north of Inspiration Point is a pullout with a beautiful, unobstructed view of the Bay. It is larger than the first two and can accommodate about 10 cars. It is wide enough for your car but not much else. There is a waist tall granite wall at it’s edge with a sheer drop on the other side. You won’t have any foreground to work with here, but it is a great shot. See #4 on my map.

Railroad Tracks at Hellman-Ehrman Mansion South Boathouse
Located in Sugar Pine Point State Park. These are actually tracks used for launching boats from the south boathouse but it truly looks like railroad tracks running right into the lake. Amazing view
Eagle Rock Panoramic View 39.10785602934946, -120.16135288858908
Easy 10 minute hike to an incredible panoramic view. Look for wind-stinted pines to use as foreground interest. There are a lot of interesting perspectives and potential sunrise shots here, walk around and check them out.
