Sugar Pine Point State Park

Climate
Summer temperatures range from about 75 degrees during the day to the low 40s at night, and winter temperatures average from a high of 40 to a low of 20 degrees.

Perched on the shore is the Pine Lodge (aka the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion), a summer home built in 1903 by financier Isaias W. Hellman, and the Phipps Cabin, built by William Phipps, an early Tahoe settler. The Hellman family owned what is now Sugar Pine Point from the turn of the 20th century until 1965. Their mansion remains as a stunning example of the Victorian homes of wealthy Lake Tahoe summer residents of 100 years ago. The mansion's old water tower today houses the Sugar Pine Point Nature Center.
