There are several excellent hikes through a ghost town and abandoned mine site, most of which have gentle elevation gain and few (if any) hikers.
However, for most people willing to make the rather windy drive to the park, the main draw is the actual mine site. There are multiple ways to reach it, including through the mine’s original Hiller drainage tunnel. It’s a mile-long tunnel tall enough to walk through and connects the parking area directly to the mine. If you choose this route, expect to trudge through knee-deep water and across large, slippery rocks in pitch-black conditions.
None of the state park’s trails are particularly well-trodden, so be prepared for overgrown plants and carry a map to help with basic route finding. Tall socks are a good idea.While it’s a long drive to visit the park and not explore the surrounding landscape — it’s a roughly three-hour drive from SF and two hours from Lake Tahoe — Malakoff Diggins does have one other big draw: the chance to strike it rich yourself.
