Elizabeth Williams Park


Located 4 miles south of Tahoe City, just north of Kaspian Campground on Highway 89, Elizabeth Williams Park has long been a favorite of anglers. Owned and operated by the Tahoe City Public Utility District, Elizabeth Williams is a small area along the lake and the bike trail with picnic tables, barbecues and access to fishing. A great place to relax next to the lake.  www.tcpud.org
