Lake Beach
Serene Lakes are a pair of freshwater lakes (Serena and Dulzura) within the residential community of the Pinewood Cabin. Less than 1 mile from the cabin, you will find a good size sandy beach on south end of lake Serena. This area offers an abundance of activities including beach volleyball (two courts), horseshoes, sand castle building, and swimming. Bring your own equipment and enjoy canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, sailing and stand up paddle boarding.
Downhill Skiing
There are many downhill ski options within a short distance from the cabin: Sugar Bowl Resort (3.3 miles), Soda Springs (0.9 miles), Donner Ski Ranch (3.9 miles), and Boreal Mountain (4.4 miles). Adventure a little further and you will find these downhill ski options: Palisades Tahoe (23 miles) and Northstar (22 miles).
Mountain Biking
There are an abundance of single track mountain biking trails around the cabin and on Donner Summit. You can find more information on these trails at On the Summit and the MTB Project.
