    Need a place to cool off, spend a lazy day? Maybe go boating/fishing & finish your day off with a…read morelittle fire & some S'mores? This is the spot! I've been coming to Lake Lahontan & camping ever since since I was a kid. Now my own little family joins me. It's nice coming here because, there aren't people EVERYWHERE like at some of the nearby popular lakes. (Lake Tahoe.) Of course, Tahoe has crystal clear snow water. Lake Lahontan has the same snow water, but it's dirtier. It travels all the way down the Carson river. Still yet, we all swim in the lake & have lived to tell the tale! I don't recommend eating the fish here, due to their high mercury content. There are plenty to catch for fun, like bass. You'll see them flop in the lake very often! All in all; if you're searching for a less "touristy," lake & don't mind it being a little muddier, come here. It's the perfect lake to come to & escape from your busy life. You & your family will enjoy it here. PS: Don't forget to bring sunscreen!! It gets hot.

    Garbage all over that the rangers just drive right past. Instead of cleaning the park. Garbage…read morepiles in the restrooms. Extremely heavy police presence. Police driving through campsites, pulling ppl over for frivolous things all day & all night. If you like being harassed & spied on by police driving through your site staring at you then this is your place. They also have speed traps regularly on the road in & out to access the park. Not a nice place t stay. Be warned.

    My 300th review!!!…read more Water in the middle of the desert? No, wait, a wetland habitat in the middle of the desert? This must be a mirage! Nope, if you've found your way out to Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, that's definitely water you're seeing, along with all sorts of shorebirds, herons, egrets, ducks, owls, hawks and other wildlife coming in for a bit of respite from the harsh environment around it. With most of these types of areas, my first question is always about the quality of the roads used to get around. The roads are all gravel once inside the refuge, but I can tell you that at Stillwater, in dry conditions, a car is perfectly fine. There are no dips or divots in the road a car can't handle, and definitely no clearance issues. Even when the roads are wet, there really isn't an issue. As a national refuge, this is a federally managed wetland project designed to provide habitat and attract and sustain wetland species in Northern Nevada. For birdwatchers, this place can be paradise, with several species calling the area home. The refuge has a great walking trails that take you into some unique habitat, and give you opportunities to see the diversity of wildlife in the area. I've seen all sorts of birds, as well as deer, coyotes, and more. If you have a non-motorized boat, paddling through some of the larger ponds can be a great way to spend an afternoon. They even have overnight campgrounds that are suitable for tents or RVs. I've been coming to Stillwater for the past few years, and with the drought conditions throughout the state, this place has definitely suffered. To put it in perspective, last year there were 3 large areas holding water, and in 2014 they're down to one. I'm hopeful we have a great winter that brings a lot of precipitation that will help replenish our water supply. We all know we need it!

    We went in November of 2006…read more We saw ducks, blue heron and other waterfowl. We even saw a few birds of prey. If you are into desert landscapes, and wetlands this is a great mix. I prefer lots of trees myself, of which there were very few. However it was VERY beautiful and we did enjoy it. There was also a wildlife viewing platform that allowed you to look out on the marshes. The bathrooms were impeccable for the "porta-potty/outhouse" type that most parks have. Talk about clean! wow! It wasn't to terribly hot in November when we went but PLEASE bring water with you, you'll want it. A jacket too if it's in the Winter months.
