Nestled in the spectacularly scenic Washoe Valley, Washoe Lake State Park is a beautiful destination. Washoe Valley is also home to a band of Nevada’s iconic wild horses, who roam freely throughout the region. Keep an eye out for migrating birds and raptors of all kinds, who have made these lakes near Reno a pitstop along their flyways for thousands of years.
