About Plumas–Eureka State Park

Mining once drove this stretch of the Sierra Nevada, and the park's name recalls that industrial past. The land sits within the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Range, preserving mountain terrain shaped by that history. Visitors get a sense of a working landscape turned protected ground, set among the peaks and slopes typical of this part of California's mountain country.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
