Lake Tahoe
Vikingsholm – 10.6 Miles (17.1 km)
Delve into Lake Tahoe’s enchanting waters with this unique route that forms an integral part of the traditional ‘Triple Crown of Lake Tahoe’. Originating from the Cave Rock Boat Launch in Nevada, swimmers chart a course southwest, culminating at the iconic Vikingsholm ‘Castle’ in Emerald Bay, CA. Spanning a considerable 10.6 miles (17.1 km), this swim is a visual treat, blending nature’s majesty with historic allure.
However, due to the varying and often challenging conditions and the heightened recreational boat traffic within Emerald Bay, we advise swimmers to consider this course with caution. It may not be the ideal first venture into Lake Tahoe’s vast expanse. Nevertheless, for those committed to completing the ‘Triple Crown’, we provide this course as an essential milestone in that prestigious journey.
