Fannette is the only island to be found in all of Lake Tahoe. It is located in beautiful Emerald Bay on the west shore of the lake. A sparsely timbered, brush covered upthrust of granite that rises 150 feet above the water.

Kayak tours and paddle wheel boat tours offer closer looks to this historic relic of the gilded age of steamer ship on the lake.

You can rent Kayaks at the Vikingsholm trailhead to visit this island. Definitely recommended.

Check out the little 'castle' on the island. It was a former tea house of the owner of Vikingsholm, the large castle on the shore.

A sparsely timbered, brush covered upthrust of granite that rises 150 feet above the water, Fannette Island was not always known by that name.
