Help Us Keep Plumas Eureka Open
On March 17, 2012, Plumas Eureka State Park Association (PESPA) Board of Directors announced that we were able to successfully negotiate a donation agreement with the State to provide the necessary support to staff the Park and campground through December 31, 2013.
Without the support of PESPA members and park volunteers such as you we will not be able to make this plan work. PESPA will be relying heavily on memberships as well as financial donations from our members and supporters to secure the funds needed to pay for Park expenses. We are also currently planning a number of fund raising activities to raise the additional funds needed.
If you have not joined PESPA for 2013 please do so today. You can click the Membership Application to download it from our website. Additional donations above your membership dues would be greatly appreciated. Plumas Eureka State Park Association is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. As such your monetary gift is a charitable donation for tax purposes. Also for tax purposes, we state that no goods or services were provided in consideration of this gift.
Thanks again for your continued support. Please check this website for additional communications and plans for the summer at http://www.plumas-eureka.org/ Should you have further questions please feel free to contact Association President Jay Skutt at jtskutlbut@yahoo.com or Vice President Lyn Nafzgar at mtndream1@gmail.com

Welcome to Plumas-Eureka State Park Association's website! "PESPA" was established in 1977 to support the interpretive and educational programs at Plumas-Eureka State Park. As a non-profit cooperating association, we rely on membership fees, museum sale profits and donations to fund programs at the park. On our website you'll find current information about the park, planning your visit and how you can support this unique historical legacy.
The Plumas-Eureka State Park headquarters is housed in a historic miner's boarding house at the entrance to the park. At the headquarters, you'll find camping and park activity information, a Camp Store and the park's Museum. The park Museum features natural history exhibits, archeological finds, mining artifacts and a working 1/24 scale model of the Plumas Eureka Mine's stamp mill, as well as hands-on exhibits for children.
There is a self-guided tour located across from the Museum which includes a working Blacksmith Shop, an Assay Office, livery stable and the Mohawk Stamp Mill. Tours of the Moriarity Houseare available during the Summer months. The Moriarity House, dating from the late 1800's, is a historic home belonging to one of the miners who lived in Johnsville which is adjacent to the Park. See what living conditions were for a typical family 100+ years ago. These tours can only accommodate 8 persons at a time, so be sure to stop by the Museum and sign up.
Activities for children may include Candle Making, Quilting, learning about Bats, Nature Hikes and other exciting programs. Visitors of all ages can enjoy Panning for Gold in a trough (Yes, there is REAL gold in there!). Hike to the Eureka Tunnel, one of the original mine entrances, where you can go a short way into the tunnel and experience something of what it may have been like to be a hard rock miner. Additionally, there are guided hikes, events, nature walks, historic walks and many other activities. To see what's happening this week, check out our events You're sure to enjoy some of the many Hiking Trails in and around the park.
