Summary

Description

Known for its amazing desert habitat and wildlife, Nevada is also home to the Pine Forest Range. A recent addition to the BLM’s wilderness areas, the range offers a diverse landscape of dense aspen stands, beautiful rock formations of enormous granite boulders and outcroppings, and an abundance of clean mountain streams and lakes. Blue Lake, accessible only by hiking, is a remnant glacial lake. Stands of rare remnant white bark and limber pines are present in this northern area of Nevada.

The most amazing part? The fishing opportunities. The pristine waters and untouched landscapes make it premiere fishing for brook, tiger, bowcutt, and rainbow trout. And visitors will find endless opportunities for rugged hiking and horseback riding - with very few trails - and primitive camping.

One visitor said that this gem “is like another planet.”
