The Walker River is a river located in western Nevada and eastern California, primarily flowing through the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is approximately 120 miles long and is known for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities, including fishing and rafting. The river's watershed supports diverse ecosystems and wildlife. The river originates from the Sierra Nevada and eventually flows into the Walker Lake, an endorheic basin. The surrounding area is rich in history, with the river being significant to the Washoe Tribe and early settlers. Today, it remains an important resource for agriculture and local communities.
