The advantage of a house on the lake is to use the lake! One block you will be at our favorite pier 33 on Donner lake. Fish, picnic, sunset happy hour, or take our kayak and drop it into the lake for a paddle. Or of course....swim! A must do 5 minute walk at the very least while you visit to see gorgeous Donner Lake up close.
