Donner Lake Fireworks

If you’re not heading to the West End Beach Celebration, there are plenty of other fantastic spots to catch the fireworks show on the Fourth of July.

Donner Memorial State Park: Enjoy the display from the beaches along the east shore of Donner Lake, facing west towards Donner Summit for fantastic, unobstructed views.

Truckee’s Public Piers: With 37 public piers to choose from, you can find a unique vantage point right on Donner Lake. Limited roadside parking is available along Donner Pass Road, but remember, the docks operate on a first-come, first-served basis and will fill up quickly.

Hiking Trails: The adventurous, experienced hikers can take advantage of the scenic vistas offered by the Donner Lake Rim Trail, Donner Peak, Donner Summit Canyon Trail, Johnson Canyon, and Coldstream Canyon. Plan to find your spot before sunset at 8:31 PM on July 4, 2024, to ensure you’re ready for the show. Don’t forget to bring a headlamp with fresh batteries for the trek back after dark.

Choose your favorite spot and get ready for a memorable fireworks display!
