Crystal clear Donner Lake is a freshwater lake in Northeast California on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. A moraine serves as a natural dam for the lake. The lake is located in the town of Truckee, between I-80 to the north and Schallenberger Ridge to the south. The tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad run along Schallenberger Ridge and closely follow the route of the original transcontinental railroad. The historic route of the Lincoln Highway, the first automobile road across America and US 40 follows the northern shoreline, and then climbs to Donner Pass from where the entire lake may be viewed. Both the lake and the pass were named after the ill-fated Donner Party, which wintered unintentionally near the lake in 1846. History buffs and nature seekers are drawn to this area bordered by the Donner Memorial State Park on the east and Donner Summit on the west.
Donner Lake is a ~ 3 miles long and 3⁄4 miles wide with temperatures ranging from freezing in the winter to 76 degrees in the summer (an average of 6 degrees warmer then Lake Tahoe). There are many recreational opportunities at or near Donner Lake to provide you and your family with unlimited fun! The lake is a recreational mecca, ideal for all water sports from fishing to water skiing. Some of the biggest Lake Trout in California are caught here. Donner Lake is “The Jewel” of the Sierras.
