Plumas-Eureka State Park

Plumas-Eureka State Park is a California state park located in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Range in Plumas County, California. The park, as a mining museum, shows and protects the history of the active mid-19th-century California Gold Rush mining period. As a large natural area, it shows and protects the serenity of the mountain's meadows, forests, lakes, and granite peaks. Camping, picnicking, biking, fishing, and hiking are offered. Eureka Peak, formerly Gold Mountain, was the site of some of the first organized ski races in North America. The National Longboard Championship, the longest running ski races since 1911, have been held in the Park at the Eureka Ski Bowl since 1993. Gold Discovery Days is a living history weekend held in July within the park. The celebration features mining-era demonstrations and activities.
