Firm, packed trails follows new snow at Plumas Eureka

Sunshine in the forecast and plenty of snow on the trails make for wonderful days outdoors skiing, snowshoeing and skating in Plumas Eureka State Park.

It is important for snowshoeing to take place on the side of trails vs. down the middle trails. Volunteers report most grooming effort is spent smoothing out snowshoe tracks. Both snowshoes, track skiers and skate skiers are welcome on the trails, but no hikers on foot or dogs.
