Plumas-Eureka State Park Details

History buffs and nature lovers will both enjoy a visit to this state park. This park was the site of a former mining town and houses a 19th-century bunkhouse, mill, blacksmith shop, and five-stamp mill. While the historic town is open year-round, there are blacksmith demonstrations and guided tours during the summer. Because the park is located in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain Ranges, it also boasts a landscape of meadows, forests, and lakes. After checking out the historic village, you can continue exploring the land by going on a hike or bike ride through the park.
