Donner Lake Real Estate
A true jewel of the Sierras, Donner Lake is a clear and pristine alpine lake with wonderful recreational opportunities year-round. Summertime offers temperate, sunny, blue sky days, with wonderful fishing, boating, and water sports, plus access to the backcountry for hiking and mountain biking. In winter, Donner Lake transforms into a winter wonderland, with great access to 4 major ski areas: Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, and Sugar Bowl just minutes away. Conveniently located on the west end of Truckee, Donner Lake offers proximity to I-80 and downtown Truckee.
Home prices can range anywhere from $300,000 – $5,000,000, and come in a variety of styles from a rustic lake cabin to luxurious lakefront living.
The West End beach is a great place for a family picnic and a day in the sun: with an inviting sandy beach, a playground, and the cool, inviting lake for swimming and splashing. Public docks line the north end of the lake, a favorite for fishing, picnicking, and basking in the mountain sunshine. Additionally, the Donner Lake Property Owners’ Beach Club provides members with access to a private beach. Steeped in history, Donner Lake derives its name from the tragic tale of the Donner Party.
