Plumas-Eureka State Park, Mining museum and state park in Plumas County, California.
The 2,500-acre park features granite peaks, mountain meadows, lakes, and dense forests at elevations ranging from 4,720 to 7,447 feet at Eureka Peak.
The park protects remnants from the California Gold Rush period, including the Mohawk Stamp Mill, blacksmith shop, mine office, and the Moriarity House from 1859.
Gold Discovery Days in July presents mining-era demonstrations through living history programs that educate visitors about California's gold mining traditions.
The park includes camping facilities for tents and RVs, numerous hiking trails, fishing spots in lakes and streams, and winter activities like cross-country skiing.
The Eureka Ski Bowl within the park has hosted the National Longboard Championship since 1993, continuing a skiing tradition that began in the 1800s.
