Fallon National Wildlife Refuge

Fallon National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1931 as a refuge and breeding ground for birds and wild animals. It is located in the Lahontan Valley of western Nevada, at the terminus of the Carson River. The refuge comprises over 15,000 acres of playa and wetland habitat in the Carson Sink.

To visit Fallon Refuge, it is best to stop at the Stillwater Refuge headquarters located at 1000 Auction Road, Fallon, Nevada, to obtain a map and directions. Roads in the Fallon Refuge area are not marked and can become confusing.
