From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rubicon (also called "Rubicon Bay") is a former settlement in El Dorado County, California, United States.[1] It was located on Lake Tahoe 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north of Emerald Bay.[1]
A post office operated at Rubicon from 1901 to 1906 and from 1909 to 1913, located at the "northeast quarter of Section 4 of Township 13 North, Range 17 East" (of the Mount Diablo meridian). It sat 1/16th (330 feet) north of Rubicon Creek.[1][2] In 2011, Rubicon received over 500 inches of snow. Rubicon was a separate community from Rubicon Springs, in the mountains to the west, and Rubicon Lodge to the north.
