A Desert Terminus Lake in Mineral County - The Remains of Ancient Lake Lahontan

Walker Lake and the Sportsman's Beach Recreation Site is located in Mineral County, Nevada. This lake is a rare perennial lake of the Great Basin and is important for a variety of resident and migratory wildlife species.

Approximately 38,000 acres in size, Walker Lake is the most prominent geographical feature in the region and the primary focal point for recreation in the area.

Walker Lake offers a variety of recreational opportunities including swimming, picnicking, boating, fishing, bird watching, water-skiing and camping. Sportsman's Beach provides thirty one individual camp sites plus two undeveloped camping areas that accommodate RV and tent campers. Facilities include vault toilets, covered picnic tables, grills, pull through and back-in camp sites, paved access and a public boat ramp area. There is no potable water available at Sportman's Beach.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Carson City District-Stillwater Field Office, manages a Recreation Fee Program at Sportsman's Beach Recreation Site. Authorized by Congress, this program has been effective in collecting fees to help maintain facilities and enhance visitor services. We reinvest all fee money collected to improve and expand facilities at the site where it is collected. We plan to improve the facilities at Sportsman's Beach and to make facilities accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.

Mineral County is quickly expanding to include the education and support needed to place EVERY BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION in the county online.

The online presence will power a robust "Buy Local Program" and be used to provide dynamic search tools to benefit our local economy.

The WIFI map is updated by members who login to optimize their business for search locally and through search engines like Google®.
