I stayed away from the Eagle Lake Trail for years because of the crowds. When I finally did it, I was pleasantly surprised!! The trail takes you to and over Eagle Falls and gives you a taste of Desolation Wilderness with an incredibly scenic lake surrounded by tall mountain peaks. What an incredible reward for only 2-miles of hiking, which is probably why it’s so popular!

Lower Eagle Falls at South Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe Basin, CA waterfalls - hiking trails, pictures, maps, and directions. Lower Eagle Falls (140 ft.) is seen from the roadside, at the Emerald Bay / Vikingsholm parking lot area (a half mile drive from the Eagle Falls picnic area).
