Geographical Information: Lake Lahontan is a large endorheic Pleistocene lake of modern northwestern Nevada that extended into northeastern California and southern Oregon. The lake had a surface area of over 8,500 square miles, making it one of the largest lakes in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum.
History: The lake was formed about 15,000 years ago as a result of the melting of the glaciers during the end of the last ice age. Today, the remnants of Lake Lahontan are still visible in the form of the Great Basin, which includes many smaller lakes and wetlands.
Modern Lake Lahontan: The name is also used for the reservoir currently in Churchill County, created by the damming of the Carson River. This reservoir is a popular recreational area with amenities for boating, fishing, and camping.
Wildlife: The area is also known for its diverse wildlife. You might spot everything from waterfowl and shorebirds to rabbits and even coyotes.
Importance for Archaeology: The ancient shoreline is home to many archaeological sites, including the Lovelock Cave, which was once under water. This area has yielded many artifacts from the Paiute tribe, who lived there thousands of years ago.
