Homewood

Oscar award-winning film "The Godfather Part II" was filmed on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. The mafia spent quite a bit of time in Lake Tahoe.

We park at the Tahoe City visitor Center and walk over to Fanny Bridge. Below the dam we can see some incredibly large and beautiful Rainbow and Brown Trout. This is where the Truckee River comes out of Lake Tahoe. The dam is only 6 ft tall and isn't there to hold water in but to help it get out.
