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 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.

Angel Lake is the perfect solution. Get your brakes tuned unless you plan on staying forever because this is a steep drive, but you can feel the stress melt as you cool down one degree at a time on the 3-mile drive up. 101 at sea level, balmy 70 on top! The lake itself is a lovely view, with plenty of easy hiking paths on, around, up the mountain. Seems like a decent campground; we didn't spend the night, but it couldn't have been a nicer change of pace and temp for our hike and lunch activity.

Nestled deep in the heart of the Ruby Mountains, the Lamoille Canyon picnic area is a rugged gem…read morethat whispers serenity to those who listen. We arrived just after a group had packed up, and to our delight, the grounds were impressively clean--proof that some still honor the wilderness code. But as we wandered with our dogs, soaking in the alpine air and golden light filtering through the aspens, we spotted the occasional blemish: a forgotten sock here, a stray water bottle there. Remnants of carelessness that jarred against the canyon's quiet dignity. We didn't come to clean, but we couldn't leave it behind. Half a garbage bag later, we left the place better than we found it--because that's what stewards of the wild do. Still, it stings to see such beauty treated like a backdrop for convenience. Lamoille deserves reverence, not neglect. Despite that, the canyon remains breathtaking. Towering cliffs, whispering pines, and trails that beckon the soul to roam. We'll be back--next time, hopefully to simply enjoy, not to restore. Until then, may others tread lightly and leave no trace. In a quote from Chief Seattle, "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children".
