About Me
- Donner Lake Cabin Rental
- Donner Lake is steeped in history. A visit to the Museum located in the Donner Memorial State Park, or the Truckee Historical Society's "Jail" downtown, can fill many history buff's cravings. However, briefly let's just say that Donner Lake has been a major avenue for most people transiting the Sierra Nevada. Major Emigrant Trails run near the Lake and it is the site of the "Donner Party" story. A Toll Road was later constructed over the Summit and it became one of the first trans-continental highways (Lincoln Highway), followed by the Rail Road; then, Highway 40 (now, "Donner Pass Road") and finally Inter-State Highway 80. http://donnerlakecabin.yolasite.com/
