Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park
State Park · Tahoma, California
Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park sits on the west shore of Lake Tahoe near Tahoma, off Highway 89, at an elevation of over 6,000 feet. It is one of the largest pieces of public shoreline on the lake, with nearly two miles of frontage, a pier, a long beach and forests of sugar pine. Its centrepiece is the Ehrman Mansion, a 1903 summer home also known as Pine Lodge, which is open for tours in summer - confirm days and prices. The park also has the General Creek campground, hiking and biking paths and, in winter, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The park has a link to the 1960 Winter Olympics, which used trails here for events - confirm. It suits families, history fans and anyone who wants a quieter Tahoe day. Be honest and plan ahead about the limits: crowded in July and August, a day-use fee, cold water, strong sun at altitude, black bears and snow that can close roads and trails in winter.

The park is normally open from sunrise to sunset every day for day use, with the pier, beach and picnic areas following daylight hours - confirm current times with California State Parks. The Ehrman Mansion keeps limited summer tour hours, often late morning to afternoon on set days, and may close for the rest of the year. The General Creek campground has its own reservation and season rules, and it is often described as one of the few state park campgrounds in the Tahoe basin that stays open year-round - confirm. A day-use fee is collected at the entrance or by self-pay, and winter conditions can close parking areas, so check the park page and Caltrans road status first.
