Explore your public lands in Nevada.
Our map features recreation sites on public lands throughout the state across public land management agencies. Find your next hike or camping destination, decide where to fish, climb, hunt, make the most of the snow, enjoy the water, or plan a roadside picnic along a scenic drive out west.
Mention the name Nevada and for many people it conjures up images of Las Vegas, Reno, neon-lit nights and casinos. Others will think of a vast, empty land where mountain ranges stand like mirages on the horizon and the sky seems to be bigger than anywhere else, including Montana. Certainly, our state is all those things, but it is much, much more. It is also deserted mining towns where riches were made and lost, lush oases that stand in sharp contrast to barren lands, isolated ranches the size of small countries, trees that were old when Rome was an empire, and even an honest-to-goodness glacier. Yep, a glacier.
More than 77 percent of Nevada is in public ownership. Take some time to explore the wonders of Nevada here. You will discover a wealth of detailed information about where to go and what to do while touring the public lands of this state.
