About this place
Added by Outbound
Watch an amazing sunset over Donner Lake or jump in for a quick swim during warmer months.
In the northwest corner of Donner Lake, there are public docks run by the Truckee Donner Recreation & Parks district. It's free to lay out your towels and hang out, but there is a fee for launching boats on the ramp. Come over in the late afternoon, enjoy the sunset, and go for a swim as the sun goes down!

This is a very unique area with the old California surf vibe in a beautiful area. Find your own little nook and enjoy paradise.
