New Melones Lake Visitors Center & Museum

New Melones Lake Visitor Center and Museum were completed as a part of the New Melones project in 1992. The modern displays and exhibits are about the area’s geologic past, Mi-Wok Indian and early human history, the California Gold Rush, mining techniques, ranching, the town of Robinson Ferry, natural history, and the New Melones project itself. Highly recommended are the guided history and nature walks that rangers conduct.

There is more information about New Melones Lake here.

Hours: Open year round Wednesday through Sunday, 10am – 4pm, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays
