About Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park

This state park on Lake Tahoe's west shore keeps some of the best remaining natural lakeside land in the area. Its roughly two miles of shoreline sit among stands of pine, fir, aspen and cedar. The Hellman-Ehrman Mansion, also called Pine Lodge, was built in 1903 as a summer home and offers a look at how wealthy families lived on the lake. Visitors can hike, swim at the beach, fish in season, cross-country ski in winter, and visit the Nature Center. The park is in El Dorado County and was renamed in 2003 to honor Edwin L. Z'berg, a state assemblyman who worked on environmental law and parks.
