Walker Lake in Mineral County, Nevada

This map has 8 layers

Walker Lake, a terminal saline lake located in Mineral County, Nevada, is a remnant of ancient Lake Lahontan. Its surface area currently around 128,000 acres has significantly decreased over the past century due to upstream water diversion. Once reaching a maximum depth of over 500 feet, the lake's depth was 86 feet and is likely shallower now. The unusual tufa formations along its shores add to the stark beauty of the high desert landscape

While historically known for its unique fishery, including the Lahontan cutthroat trout, the declining water levels and increasing salinity have severely impacted the native fish populations. Efforts are underway to restore the lake's ecosystem. Currently, recreational activities such as boating and kayaking are still possible, though launching may be challenging due to the receding shoreline. The surrounding area offers opportunities for birdwatching and appreciating the rugged beauty of the Nevada desert
