Hikers in Carson City enjoy year-round access to the Carson River, three backcountry lakes, multiple mountain peaks, and unspoiled shorelines along Lake Tahoe. Nestled at the foot of Nevada’s Eastern Sierra Mountain Range, visitors can find themselves hiking up mountains or coasting down them either way it is a great day out on an adventure for all hikers! If you're looking for a different adventure outside of Lake Tahoe, look no further than the Carson River. The 180-mile long river flows from California's Sierra Nevada and eventually feeds into Lahontan Reservoir. There is also a 12 mile aquatic trail that takes boaters through scenic canyons with historic relics lining the way. Serene fishing spots might be Northern Nevada’s best-kept secret. Wildlife abounds around the foothills of the Eastern Sierra, as well as surrounding lakes and streams, making it a year-round affair.
