The beautiful snow capped Ruby Mountains tower to 11,000 feet on the west side of the lake.

There are over 220 species of birds that regularly visit the marsh which makes for an amazing bird watching and photography paradise. The marsh provides a vital waterfowl nesting area and you will see a variety of ducks, geese, and swans. Bald eagles, golden eagles, and hawks are seen as well. The vegetation provides nesting cover for waterfowl. shorebirds, and song birds.

Ruby Valley has some rich history including stops for the Pony Express route, the Overland Mail Route, Fort Ruby Military post, Hastings Cutoff, and Overland Pass - the same route followed by the Donner party.

The fishing in the marshes is fabulous! You will wind your way through a maze of tules and hidden channels where bass wait to pounce on your lures or flies. One hundred fish days are the rule.....not the exception, and the bass are wonderful on the table.
