Lahontan State Recreation Area

Nevada State Parks

The reservoir is almost 17 miles long with 69 miles of shoreline.

This recreation area is open all year with maximum use during the late spring and through summer. Primary activities are boating, water skiing, fishing and camping. The climate is typical of the northern Nevada desert region. Rainfall is slight, averaging less than six inches annually. Sunny skies are the rule, with summer daytime temperatures near 90 degrees. However, nights may be very cool. The spread between day and night temperatures may exceed 50 degrees.

Excellent soft trail riding down the Carson River and is part of the annual Pony Express reenactment ride path.
