Tips from locals
Gorgeous spot, closer than Lake Tahoe and also worth the visit on your way to Tahoe!
Donner Lake is only five minutes away from our vacation rental and is one of our favorite spots in the area! Perfect for beach-going, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating. The Donner Memorial State Park has access to the lake in addition to a museum honoring the Donner Party. Multiple accesses to the beach including public docks along Donner Pass Road, the Donner Memorial State Park, and the West End Beach.
