Donner Lake Homes

It sits about 12 miles northwest of one of the best known lakes and gambling areas and a name most homeowners and visitors immediately recognize. Lake Tahoe is the big name and Donner Lake is sometimes thought of as the little sister. It sits on the California side where you can’t gamble, and that’s okay with those in the know. Donner Lake homes are some of the most prized pieces of real estate in the area.
Donner Lake is a freshwater lake located on the outskirts of Truckee, California. It is sandwiched between the Union Pacific Railroad tracks that follow the route of the original transcontinental railroad, with Interstate 80 to the north.
For those who have a long memory (and there are many living in Truckee who do), Donner pass was named after the Donner Party, which was a group of 87 pioneer Americans who had set out in a wagon train from Missouri heading west for gold and better times. In 1847, they were suddenly caught in a monolithic snow storm in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Some were lucky enough to find shelter in several cabins constructed two years earlier at Truckee Lake, which was the original name of Donner Lake.
Camping, recreation, and fishing are abundant around Donner Lake, and if you enjoy fishing, word has it from the locals that the lake holds some of the biggest trout in the state; some they say are as large as a kayak oar. Many Donner Lake homes surround the city of Truckee with easy access to the lake. If you’re looking for gold, we can’t help. But if you’re interested in affordable real estate and the opportunity for choice four season recreation, Donner Lake has it. Most homes in the Donner Lake area are single family homes, with many of them used primarily as second homes. All of the Donner Lake homes are within walking distance to the water.
Two new subdivisions, Wolfe Estates and Donner Lake Woods, make it easy to enjoy picnicking, hiking, rock climbing, fishing or just the chance to boat around and refresh your memory of the beauty that is Donner Lake. Everything a homeowner could require is either around the corner or just 10 minutes away. A Donner Lake real estate purchase can offer a great lifestyle change.
