Top 8 Summer Lake Towns in US – includes Truckee!

Truckee, Calif. on Donner Lake
This year, skip Lake Tahoe and head 16 miles south to Donner Lake’s warmer water temperatures and small-town atmosphere. Originally an Old West town (you can still visit the original 1875 jailhouse), Truckee is a great base for exploring the lake’s many outdoor activities—lately, stand-up paddleboarding is the sport of choice. Truckee also has a growing local art scene—a slew of new galleries has opened recently, including Riverside Studios, which sells pottery, jewelry, and clothing made by a collective of area artists, and Carmel Gallery, home to Olof and Elizabeth Carmel’s impressionistic prints and photographs. Whatever your plans, carb up first with the All Day Addiction, a concoction of hash browns, avocado, Canadian bacon, and two eggs, at 1940s-style diner Jax at the Tracks. Later, you can relive your adventures over a Base Camp Golden Ale at Fifty Fifty Brewing Co., where all the beers are brewed in-house, and watch the sun set over the water from the redwood deck at Loch Leven Lodge.

Donner Lake Kayak Fishing

Here I am, early in the morning on Donner Lake – can’t see more than 100′ in front of me. Good thing it’s calm. I did catch a couple Mackinaw after I found my spot – fun!
