Fourth of July…read more.. We've been coming to the spark for the Fourth of July fireworks near 20 years now. They always have some fun and festivities in the park during the day. Usually live music, or broadcast radio station from inside the park. We back up to the main road, get out our chairs, and wait for sundown. Our routine usually includes making some fried chicken and potato salad and going to the lake or the river. Spend a few hours there and then head to Fernley. It is absolutely one of the best firework shows around. Not sure if it's just a holiday, but we always meet people in make friends while we wait for the show. I see they have other events here through the year, but definitely if you have not tried, come watch the fireworks on Fourth of July.

But at the same time you get a lot of the less than desireable people who hang out at this park. Pros: -Large grass area for the pick up game of football or used for cheer practice. --The Fernley Youth Softball League (formerly DVGSA) main field here. The ONLY tennis courts -Play ground equipment and swings -Covered and uncovered benches -Skate park -Bathrooms (locked during the winter months but they provide portable bathrooms) Cons: -Parking is limited so if you are attending an event get there early. -People don't clean up after their pets on the grass -It's close to one of the major road ways going though Fernley. Lots of big trucks pass by.

There are placards lining a half mile loop that you can easily walk through and see what remains from a grand hotel with a dark past and a kinda dark history to follow. There is beautiful green grass with several picnic tables and grills available. You won't believe that you are right off the highway because when you're here you are completely surrounded by beautiful nature! And they have these beautiful fishing ponds! They were bursting with frogs, baby fish and tadpoles. We all really enjoyed our visit and will be returning!

CRYSTAL PEAK PARK is an adventure once you find it !!…read more If you're looking for a remote atmosphere with mountain views, ponds & the Truckee River, this is it. Take I-80 West past Boomtown to Exit 3 for Verdi.Turn left onto South Verdi Road at the bottom of the ramp (look for the sign pointing to Crystal Peak Park). Follow the road as it twists under I-80, crosses the railroad tracks and goes under I-80 once more. The road becomes Crystal Park Road. Look for the park's upper parking lot on your left. I suggest taking a sharp left turn just before the upper lot to reach the lower parking lot near the picnic area, restrooms, and trailhead. This was a great experience. Bring snacks and your childhood love for dirt FYI- We had perfect reception with Verizon & AT&T the whole route

Mosquitoes were hatching. This time of the year the water was high.... Fallon side had clean beaches, plenty of trash receptacles and clean restrooms. You can camp on the beaches or in the developed areas. Boat ramps are available or you can launch off of the beach. Beware of the sand!! Make sure you bring plenty of water and ice. No close stores.

I have so many fond memories of being here with my folks in my younger years. It was so nostalgic…read morevisiting last week. Water levels are lower than I remember, but it was nice to take a trip down memory lane. Every Summer, my parents drove their RV and I watched from the top bunk. My brothers and I could never stay in our seats. My parents never knew what we were up to. We always booked the same block of camping sites and we invited three other family's every year. The old tires swings on the cottonwood trees were always a hit with us kids and staying up late catching June bugs, telling scary stories around a campfire and roasting marshmallows for smores. It was cool showing my kids where my parents brought us camping.

I'm also traveling from Salt Lake City, UT to Sacramento, CA and there's a ton of rest stops in between. It was getting dark and cold, but there's plenty of signs to show where dogs are allowed and not allowed, but they're should be more signs to pick up after them. Then again, pet owners should know better (face palm). Pretty small area, but enough to make a quick pit stop and go head into The biggest little city of Nevada.

If has covered picnic benches, mature trees and a nice park atmosphere. The restrooms are real flush toilets and are kept reasonably clean for public toilets - in the women's side anyway. I can't comment on the men's. There is also a pet relief area away from the park and picnic area. It is part of the California Trail and there is a marker and information about the trail so you can take a rest, stretch your legs, and get a bit of American History. We zip along at 70 MPH along the same route that the California Pioneers travelled by covered wagon in the mid-1800's. In so many ways, this is a pretty cool place to stop. Worth a 5 minute stop on your travels west.

My 300th review!!!…read more Water in the middle of the desert? No, wait, a wetland habitat in the middle of the desert? This must be a mirage! Nope, if you've found your way out to Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, that's definitely water you're seeing, along with all sorts of shorebirds, herons, egrets, ducks, owls, hawks and other wildlife coming in for a bit of respite from the harsh environment around it. With most of these types of areas, my first question is always about the quality of the roads used to get around. The roads are all gravel once inside the refuge, but I can tell you that at Stillwater, in dry conditions, a car is perfectly fine. There are no dips or divots in the road a car can't handle, and definitely no clearance issues. Even when the roads are wet, there really isn't an issue. As a national refuge, this is a federally managed wetland project designed to provide habitat and attract and sustain wetland species in Northern Nevada. For birdwatchers, this place can be paradise, with several species calling the area home. The refuge has a great walking trails that take you into some unique habitat, and give you opportunities to see the diversity of wildlife in the area. I've seen all sorts of birds, as well as deer, coyotes, and more. If you have a non-motorized boat, paddling through some of the larger ponds can be a great way to spend an afternoon. They even have overnight campgrounds that are suitable for tents or RVs. I've been coming to Stillwater for the past few years, and with the drought conditions throughout the state, this place has definitely suffered. To put it in perspective, last year there were 3 large areas holding water, and in 2014 they're down to one. I'm hopeful we have a great winter that brings a lot of precipitation that will help replenish our water supply. We all know we need it!

We went in November of 2006…read more We saw ducks, blue heron and other waterfowl. We even saw a few birds of prey. If you are into desert landscapes, and wetlands this is a great mix. I prefer lots of trees myself, of which there were very few. However it was VERY beautiful and we did enjoy it. There was also a wildlife viewing platform that allowed you to look out on the marshes. The bathrooms were impeccable for the "porta-potty/outhouse" type that most parks have. Talk about clean! wow! It wasn't to terribly hot in November when we went but PLEASE bring water with you, you'll want it. A jacket too if it's in the Winter months.
