You’ll Never Forget The Striking Water Of This Exquisite Lake In Nevada
Topaz Lake doesn’t get as much attention and acclaim as its big neighbor to the north, Lake Tahoe. It’s a much smaller lake, but it has its own charms and is a picture perfect location for an outdoor adventure.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
The lake is a reservoir created from the West Walker River and it's about 3-1/2 miles long and 1-1/2 miles wide.
Smith was the first non-Native American to cross the Sierra Nevada and visiting Topaz Lake was part of his travels.
If you're not a fan of camping, the Topaz Lodge Casino is also located on the lake, which has some exquisite views of the reservoir.
Boats, jet skis and water skis are also available for rent.
To reach Topaz Lake, take Highway 395 south from the Carson City area. Go east on Topaz Lake Park Road until you get to the Douglas County Park. You can get to the lake shore via Topaz Lake Park Road which is within the Douglas County Park.
