Hannah made it fast and easy. We walked up, filled out paperwork, handed a credit card and got the safety run down. We were on the water enjoying the lake within 10 Minutes..no reservation, easy.. both people working there were young and very polite and accommodating. We took our small dog along and had a lovely time. We will be back..this was a great experience and the kayak /jet ski/ paddle board looked great too. Well run and fair pricing. Thank you

This museum documents the fascinating and tragic history of the Donner Party's journey to the west coast.
First, avoid the $10 parking lot charge by parking along the street if you can. The museum is well worth a stop, as it gives a good overview of what the emigrants faced on their trip west. There is a 26-minute film, and there are well maintained walking trails.

So convenient you must see it. It is very small but interesting. The museum is free but they happily accept donation. Hours appear to be seasonal so check to see when it is open.
