Simply Marvelous at Marlette

Flume Trail, Marlette Lake State Park (10/15/20) Barry Calfee

Comedian Billy Crystal, in his impersonation of actor Fernando Llamas, used to joke, “You look marvelous, simply marvelous.”

That can be said of Lake Marlette on the east side of Lake Tahoe, presently. “It looks marvelous, simply marvelous.”

Color spotter and cyclist Barry Calfee was there yesterday and reported that the Flume Trail was lined with peak fall color between Spooner Lake and Lake Marlette.

The trail passes picturesque Spencer’s cabin, a 280-square-foot cattleman’s cabin from the 1920s to the 1960s.
