Park staff at the Plumas-Eureka State Park enjoy offering blacksmithing demos. The Mohawk Stamp Mill, stable and more historic buildings offer a glimpse into the state's gold discovery.
Located in the high Sierra mountain area, the museum in the park comes with stunning views and fresh air. The museum, that acts as a visitor's center too, sits in a former miner's bunkhouse.
Sign up for one of the guided tours and enjoy the park staff run programs to learn more about the area. A network of hiking trails connects this state park to the Lakes Basin Recreation Area, such as the Pacific Crest Trail. Toss your line in Jamison Creek that runs through the campsite to catch a trout for dinner.
Except in the winter months, you have lots of camping options, including group and family campsites. Bring your trailer up to 24 feet and RV up to 28 feet to one of the RV sites. These sites offer full hookup and an RV dump station.
The best time to visit Plumas Eureka State Park is during the summer months when temperatures are mild and all facilities are open. Winter offers a snowy wonderland, but be prepared for cold weather and some seasonal closures.
