Welcome to Donner Lake Property Owners Association

Opening Day 2026

Beach will open, weather permitting, Saturday May 23rd at 9 a.m. for boat and watercraft entry and storage only, with coffee, juice and donuts. 

As we did last year, Staff will have the beach cleaned up.  Please note - because of many past, unfortunate membership confrontations, there will be no “reserving” of spots for boats or any watercraft under any circumstances unless approved by the Board. There never has been a reserve a spot policy, just a lack of Board direction to remind the membership that watercraft storage is a privilege not a right. To claim a seasonal storage spot for your boat, SUP or kayak, you will need to be in possession of the properly stickered watercraft at that time of entry, including the Town of Truckee Mussel sticker. In other words, the first watercraft to the spot gets the spot. Please note that there are different stickers and storage locations for SUPs near the volleyball courts and the wet cove area. 

No member will obstruct an available storage space with anything other than their properly stickered watercraft. If you are at the beach on opening day or any day of the summer season, and you do not have your boat, SUP or kayak, you will not be able to claim a storage location. (Note: leaving a cone, during the season to go fuel the watercraft, is an allowable example of the use of a cone when returning same day to your previously claimed spot.) The same applies to all areas of watercraft parking, whether it be boat on trailer parking, the wet cove, or racks for storage. No buoys or cones will be allowed on land or in water as a means of space reservation.  

 Members not cooperating with this policy will be asked to leave DLPOA property for re-entry, any further escalation of non-cooperation will be brought to the full Board for review and possible action. 

Please note there will also be a “help desk” available on May 23 and 24 near the kiosk to answer any questions you may have about the new portal and membership renewal process.
