This park is absolutely amazing! It's a huge wooden park surrounded by grass and baseball fields. I…read morewould say this park is geared toward older kids, but have some stuff for young and even babies. The visibility isn't great so unless you stand in the middle or follow your kids it's easy to lose sight of them. So it would be great for hide and seek. A con is that at or near lunch time high schooler kids from Elko high school come and ditch school at this park and can be very loud and disruptive. Everyone else that I've met here is super friendly. This is a great place to play frisbee, have a family picnic or just play at the park. Definitely visit this park at least once, for us it's a daily thing.

Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge has over 37 thousand acres. With around 15 thousand of those…read moreacres being Ruby Lake. Ruby Lake is a marsh. Ducks love this marsh and it is popular for nesting. While we were on the lake we saw ducks in the grasslands. It is a beautiful place to spend a few hours at. We didn't go far because it became very windy. They have a visitor center that you can visit. We were kayaking here and really think being on the water is the way to experience this lake. This lake has trout and bass which seem to be pretty large. If you want to visit a spacious and scenic part of Nevada then we highly recommend this refuge.

We went on this County Rd to see what's out at Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. We soon stopped…read moreat the Main Boat Landing and grabbed some maps which is important. We missed Fort Ruby & the Narciss Boat Landing. At the Main Boat Landing there's bathrooms, boat ramp & maps/info on a kiosk. There were some fishermen in their boats. From the brochure: "located in the Great Basin of the West, Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a wetland oasis in NV's high desert. This remarkable refuge lies along the eastern flank of the scenic, snow-capped Ruby Mtns." There's lots of birds: We saw some American avocet, White-faced ibis, Coots, & Canvasback, many others couldn't ID. We didn't see mammals, reptiles, amphibians, or fish but they are there somewhere. We did a short auto tour to see the Marsh on a dirt road on our way to Harrison Pass Rd. Best time to see waterfowl & their young is from May-July. Nesting & migrating songbirds best observed during May-June. Sept-Oct can be up to 25,000 waterfowl & coots. Location: Ruby Lk Refuge is located in the south Ruby Valley, 65 mi SE of Elko & 100 miles NW of Ely in Northeastern NV.

We were coming home after picking up our new travel trailer in SLC, and after fighting the horrendous winds all day, were ready TO STOP. Seeing our 'paper plate' on the trailer, I guess the management was afraid we were trailer newbies and might need some help backing in and setting up, so they sent a VERY helpful gentleman over to assist. But we're 16 year trailer veterans and really didn't need the help. However, it was nice to see how helpful they're willing to be! There aren't too many open spaces for one-nighters like us, but we DID get a spot. Friendly folks on both sides, and the people in the office were friendly too. As another reviewer mentioned, it's quiet at night (except for the noise of the freeway, and even THAT isn't too bad). Of course, we hit the bar to get a beer and 'mingle' with the locals to get the feel of the place. Nice folks there too. We were there June 25th. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We took the two kids (3 & 1) on their first major road trip and when they started to get restless, we stopped for lunch in Elko and Google mapped the nearest playground. So glad my wife found this place. It is amazing! I wish I could have played on it when I was a kid. It is nearly all wood, but has been updated with Trex, so no slivers and it stays somewhat cool in the hot Nevada sun. This is the new fangled recycled plastic playground equpment that kids can only play on before the sun goes up or after it goes down during the summer. This playground is huge and has multiple stations and levels. The second best thing is that it is right next to the Elko community pool which has three big water slides and lots of other cool stuff to find. So if you stop, have a swimsuit ready as well. Seriously, never thought I'd say it, but if you want to give your kids an awesome time on a long road trip, stop in Elko!

Really cool playground! My 4 year old thoroughly enjoyed running around the whole place.read more

I was nervous because i had never been snowmobiling but Jason & Joe were more than helpful with tips on how to handle the snow mobile & it eased my mind knowing that as we were riding we wouldn't get lost in the sauce or left behind because their was always a guide in the front & back of us . Towards the end I definetly let loose a lot on the snow mobile in the beginning I actually ended up falling off of it one time but Joe had already prepared of what to do if this shall happen so I didn't panic too bad! The scenery was beautiful as we rode in & thru the mountains they kept us on pretty smooth trails for the most part being that we were beginners & we enjoyed every bit of it ! Once we finished Jason had us lunch that his wife had prepared sandwiches , soup , & Joe kept us stuffed with Reese cups as dessert it was hilarious ! I reccomend to anyone that hasn't been snowmobiling atleast do it one time in your lifetime!

The flight sure wasn't cheap being last minute, but the company is paying so that's the deal! I've flown in and out of the little airport on Redding Ca, near where I live and this is a little bigger, but still a small airport. Not a ton of dining options like OAK, but then there no parking or crowd problems either. It does have a sort of rustic design to the terminal, but really do I care about what the place looks like, I just need to get ion and outta here a quick as I can. I was met easily by my contact person here in Elko, so that's way easier than like at OAK when I have to return. I had a decent experience here at EKO and I'd fly in and outta here again. EKO I like ... SFO forget it!

This is a very small airport that has only 1 small building with 1 gate and 1 baggage carousel…read more There are only 3 TSA agents when going through security, one for ID/boarding passes, 1 at the metal detector and 1 to observe the monitor. The monitor attendant also performs bag checks. The security screening conveyor belt for baggage comes out directly at the 1 gate. No dining options once you're through security into the small waiting area, only a drink vending machine. Within the lobby of the airport are the mini museum, artist displays, 3 booths for car rentals, and snack area. To answer a couple complaints by other reviewers, they do now recognize pre-check and have a separate line to the left of general boarding. Also, for late arrival flights, Enterprise re-opens during that time. Car rental places are closed for the 535am flight to Salt Lake, but they have a drop box for the keys next to the entrance, so no big deal. My experience was very good. I have heard in the past from colleagues who fly through here more often that when there are issues with the plane, you're kinda screwed.
