Local family activities (all season)
Winter Fun!
Snowplay at Tahoe DOnner is great for families! You can enjoy all of the snowplay activities here, like sledding, tubing, snowman building, snowball fighting, and more. There’s a fun sledding hill with monitored tubing lanes, and best of all, you don’t have to pack a thing - sleds and inner tubes are included in the price of admission. This is a great place to bring small children, with gentle hills that are just steep enough for little ones to feel an exhilarating thrill.

Chinese railroad workers transformed America. Remains of the Central Pacific Railroad can be found at Donner Summit.
Built in the mid-1800’s, these ruins still remain after 150 years. It is a marvel to experience the

are covered with artwork and graffiti.
