Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Sierra Nevada, the Donner Memorial State Park is dedicated to the memory of all the brave eastern immigrants who travelled to California in the mid 1800’s. The park offers a delightful recreational area for outdoor enthusiasts who will find something to do regardless of the season. In summer you can enjoy camping, hiking, boating, swimming, fishing and paddling, while winter visitors can spend their time exploring the hiking trails with snow shoes or cross-country skis. You can learn about the region’s geological history at the Visitor’s Center and you can book a campsite up to six months in advance.
