Rye Patch Reservoir an Aquatic Playground
Nevada’s deserts hold some of the greatest secrets in the West.One such hidden jewel lies almost two hours east of Reno off Interstate 80.
The Rye Patch Recreation Area has been a favorite since it became a state park in 1971. The Bureau of Reclamation built the dam and reservoir in the mid-1930s to provide irrigation water for Lovelock farmers.
Not only does this park offer some great fishing for walleye, wipers and catfish, but it also provides good boating and personal watercraft opportunities.
