Once you get settled in, we have one of the most impressive Museums around, surrounded by the City Park. For the little travelers, there is a skate park for some kid fun, right next to it is the Public Swimming pool. If you want to venture a little further, we have the California Trail Interpretive Center just 8 miles west of Elko. For a nice, enjoyable ride, just 20 miles from Elko is the Historic Town of Lamoille, at the base of the beautiful Ruby Mountains. Nevada is the number one gold producing state in the World, if time permitting, we suggest a mine tour - well worth the time. For a non-motorized water vehicle, Angel Lake is the place to go, just 60 miles east of Elko. For great fishing, South Fork Reservoir, just 20 miles from Elko, is the place to be. So much to do, so many places to list. Here is a web site to help you on your planning: https://exploreelko.com/events/category/community-events/
Relax and enjoy your time!
All roads lead somewhere amazing out here, but the arguable centerpiece of the Elko region is the glacier-carved range known as the Ruby Mountains, accessed via Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway. This 12-mile paved road works its way up past vistas straight out of a photographer's dream. While exploring the Byway, keep your eyes peeled for Kodak moments, interpretive signs, and access to the bends and beaver ponds of Lamoille Creek. There are plenty of places to pull over for a quick forested jaunt in the woods or to spread out a blanket and enjoy that picnic you packed earlier. Naturally, the range of recreational opportunities is as wide as the landscapes, enticing adventurers with hiking, backpacking, cycling (both on and way, way off the pavement), big-game hunting (the elk are gargantuan), and fishing so good it's almost unfair.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
