Plumas Eureka State Park:

Camping – complete with hot showers – under a forested canopy alongside Upper Jamison Creek, hiking around Eureka Lake and Madora Lakes, scrambling atop Eureka Peak, or hiking into rugged high country on the Jamison Creek Trail make this a cherished outdoors playground.

With interpretive exhibits and a museum highlighting the historic discovery and mining of gold, this whole park shines like gold.
