In Walker Lake, Nevada, the options will pleasantly surprise you.
The community of Walker Lake is all about water--mile after glorious mile of it.
Privately owned lakefront parcels in Nevada are a rare find because so much waterfront is unavailable. Lake Mead is surrounded by government land, and Lake Tahoe has become too expensive. At the Shores on Walker Lake, you can have your own piece of the water along with your own private beach. Sit on the shore and tickle your toes in the water, or grab your boat for an afternoon of adventure. The choice is yours!
And just to put everything into perspective: Walker Lake is big. This natural, terminal lake is an impressive 18 miles long and 7 miles wide--and covers 38,000 acres with crystal clear blue water. Because it's so vast, the list of great things to do just goes on and on:
- Fishing (especially for Lahontan cutthroat trout, a local favorite)
- Boating
- Canoeing and kayaking
- Water skiing
- Jet skiing
- Wind surfing
- Swimming
- Bird-watching
- Wildlife viewing
Recreation near The Shores on Walker Lake, NV
More beach and boating options are available at Walker Lake State Recreation Area, just minutes away. Get your feet wet at Sportsman's Beach, Tamarack Beach and 20 Mile Beach, too. And don't forget to check out Mount Grant, the massive, snow-covered peak standing sentinel over Walker Lake. Here you can hike and watch the wildlife, including bighorn sheep, antelope and deer. For something different to do outside, try rock climbing and off-roading on area trails.
Speaking of wildlife: Walker Lake hosts an incredible number of bird species. In April, you don't want to miss the Annual Walker Lake Loon Festival at Sportsman's Beach. Here you'll see the largest group of migrating loons west of the Mississippi make a much-anticipated stop to celebrate. For all the loon lore--and more--contact the Mineral County, NV Chamber of Commerce.
