Fallon National Wildlife Refuge is located
in the Lahontan Valley, near the community of Fallon, approximately seventy
miles east of Reno. Fallon Refuge is dominated by gently rolling to flat
desert shrublands consisting of greasewood and saltbush. A system of both
active and stable dunes also accentuates the topography in this area.
The lowest elevation found in the Stillwater Refuge Complex is found on
this refuge, at a low of about 3,800 feet in the Carson Sink. At the terminus
of a branch of the Carson River, there is currently limited hunting available
on Fallon NWR, including waterfowl and upland game. Access is limited
to open roads, and four-wheel drives are recommended.
