Walker Lake

Located in Nevada

Walker Lake is a natural freshwater lake located in Lyon County, Nevada, United States. It is approximately 12 miles long and 5 miles wide with a surface area of 38,000 acres. The lake is fed by the Walker River, which starts in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and runs through the Mason Valley before flowing into the lake. The lake has been an important recreational and fishing area for many years, with many different species of fish being found in its waters. The lake is surrounded by mountains and hills, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. However, in recent years, the water level of the lake has dropped significantly due to drought and water management issues, and it has been designated as one of the most endangered lakes in the United States. Despite this, efforts are underway to restore the lake's habitat and improve its water quality.
