Lake County Fruit Exchange, Kelsyville, Lake County, California C. 1950

Yes, there is a Lady of the Lake at Cave Rock on Lake Tahoe’s east shore. Location: Cave Rock is a 3 million-year-old rock formation on Highway 50, 3 miles south of Glenbrook. The rock formation is named for the image of a woman’s profile that appears in the rock.  The Washoe Indians considered the rock sacred and worshiped it. The profile is best seen from the water.  The Cave Rock State Park offers a variety of activities, including boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, and picnicking. The park has a boat launch, a small sandy beach, and picnic areas with barbecue pits and picnic tables.  The Cave Rock was once part of a volcanic vent that existed on the site about five million years ago. The first tunnel for Highway 50 was blasted through the rock in 1931.  This Lady of the Lake fruit label is from Kelseyville in Lake County California, associated with the Lake County Fruit Exchange, which utilized it for packaging pears. The label features a design that typically includes a woman in a gown admiring a pear, with Clear Lake and Mt. Konocti depicted in the background.
