Welcome to Sugar Pine Point

Sugar Pine Point is a forested promontory on the western side of Lake Tahoe.

Sugar Pine Point State Park
The park includes a mile and three quarters of lake frontage with a number of sandy beaches and a unique natural area where the untouched, primeval forest of the Tahoe Basin marches right down to the water's edge. The developed area south of General Creek features a number of historic buildings including a hand-hewn, 19th century log cabin and an elegant turn-of-the-century summer home known as the Ehrman Mansion.

The park extends some three-and-one-half miles west into the General Creek watershed, a natural entryway into the 62,469-acre Desolation Wilderness Area. Clearly marked trails (suitable for summer use) wind up the gentle, forest-filled valley formed by General Creek and provide easy access to the wilderness beyond.
