Donner Lake is a freshwater Lake that is much smaller than nearby Lake Tahoe . A Moraine serves as a natural Dam for the lake. It is located in the town of Truckee in northeastern California . It is sandwiched between Interstate 80 to the north and an Amtrak railroad station to the south. It is named after the unfortunate Donner Party , which spent its fateful winter near the lake in 1846 .
