Walker River State Recreation Area Access

Walker River State Recreation Area Access provides public entry to over 12,000 acres and nearly 30 miles of the East Walker River, with the main Pitchfork Ranch unit offering 7 miles of river access for paddling and fishing.

The area features well-maintained dirt roads, multiple campgrounds (Riverbend and Quail Run with RV hookups available), cabins, a visitor center, and day-use areas with river access points.

Visitors should check current river conditions and consult water trail maps before floating, as some sections are not recommended for floating.
