  • The title was changed to Plumas Eureka State Park In Winter

 If you read some  history about Johnsville, the Plumas Eureka mine and the Sierra Buttes Mining Company before visiting the park it will add immensely to your visit. I love doing excavation projects in the town of Johnsville (adjoining the park) because I always unearth a bit of history but it does slow the projects way down.

 Whatever you do, don't be seen with a detector, even in your car, or operate any off highway vehicle within the park boundaries.
