Squaw Valley Reservoir in Nevada offers a landscape of open terrain with sparse vegetation. Temperatures can range from highs in the 90s during summer to lows in the 20s in winter. Visitors can explore the nearby Black Rock Desert or visit the Fly Geyser, both accessible within an hour's drive.
Description
Nevada Division of Wildlife
Settle into primitive camping along the edge of Granite Mountain Reservoir, but be aware that there are no restrooms or trash facilities on site. If you’re going to build a campfire, be sure to check into seasonal fire restrictions and only use preexisting fire rings. Practice Leave No Trace Methods whenever possible, and remember to pack out everything you bring in. That, and before casting into bodies of water in the Silver State, be sure to get yourself legal with a proper Nevada Fishing License. Grab one in advance at NDOW’s website, and if you’re already here, get one at one of the state’s many license agents.
