FannetteIsland is the only island to be found in all of Lake Tahoe -- a sparsely timbered, brush covered upthrust of granite that rises 150 feet above the water.
Althought the island is small, the sides are steep and covered with thick shrubs which make movement from one side to another difficult.
Please note that the island is CLOSED from February 1 thru June 15 due to nesting Canadian geese.
