    Donner Lake, situated at an elevation of 5,936 feet and with a depth of 328 feet, is fed by Summit Creek and Gregory Creek and drained by Donner Creek. The lake got its name from the ill-fated Donner Party, a group of pioneers who found themselves stranded in the harsh winter of 1846. Donner Lake today has 30 public docks, a State Park, 4 beaches, and lots of amenities.
