Event Date: 
January 1, 2015 (All day)

THURSDAY:

  • Opening Day- Fishing Season at Topaz Lake (a half hour before sunrise)
  • Arlington Square Ice Rink: Winter Break Schedule (Sessions 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., 2p.m. - 5 p.m., 6 p.m. - 9p.m; $7/$5 kids, $3 Skate Rental)

Topaz Lake to open to fishing on New Years Day

Topaz Lake, which is located along U.S. 395 at the Nevada-California state line, will open its 2015 fishing season, one half hour before sunrise, on Thursday, Jan. 1.

If the weather is decent, if you don't have a massive hangover, if you like to fish and if you don't have anything else planned, this could be a fun way to start the New Year. Bundle up though because daytime temperatures in the area are not expected break 30 degrees.

Mills Park picnic table at a winter day sunrise

Mills Park, Carson City,  after a  Snowstorm...

Pretty soon we all will face this. Beauty and cold. Our dawn mornings will again be snow filled and quiet, all over Carson City, and in Mills Park. This photograph was taken right after a overnight snow storm at sunrise in Mills Park a few years ago.
Back in the day, Mills Park once served as our municipal golf course. Now it's home to a host of activities. The great rock band Three Dog Night played in the Marv Teixeira Pavilion in 1994 when the his pavilion opened. It was a great show. A great free show!
