Deadman's Creek guided hike Sunday at Washoe Lake
Washoe Lake State Park is offering a guided hike Sunday to the overlook on the Deadman’s Creek Trail. This is a moderate, one-mile, round-trip hike, with a short, steep climb to the overlook (280 feet). Wildflowers are currently blooming along the trail so this will be an opportunity to take amazing pictures and learn about new plants.
WHEN: Sunday, April 19, 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
CONTACT: Kim Zuch, 775-687-4319, washoelake@hdiss.net.
All events are open to the public and free of charge; however, there is an entrance fee into the park of $7 per vehicle. Nevada residents receive a $2 discount. Program schedules are subject to change due to weather and staffing. When going on any hike, please be sure to bring plenty of water and wear appropriate footwear. Washoe State Park is located at 4855 Eastlake Boulevard (Take the Eastlake Boulevard Exit #44 from I-580).
The passport challenge continues: The Nevada State Parks Passport Booklet is now available and may be picked up at any state park. Visitors who have their booklets stamped at 15 different parks will earn a free annual pass to all Nevada State Parks.
The booklet, which serves as a travel aid as well as travelogue for park visitors, includes photos, a description of each park, lists of amenities, travel journal pages and spaces for validation stamps which have been designed to reflect each unique state park.
