Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Lincoln County, Nevada.
Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge is a protected natural area with lakes, wetlands, and desert landscape in the Nevada desert. The site is fed by natural springs that provide water year-round.
The area was established as an official protected space in 1963 to preserve rare bird species and protect their migration route. This decision was part of a larger plan to conserve critical habitats across the region.
This place serves as a critical resting and breeding area for migratory birds traveling between North and South America. Visitors come to watch birds from around the world that pass through or stay during their journeys.
Visiting is possible year-round, but spring and fall are the best times when migratory birds pass through the area. Good shoes, water, and binoculars are helpful for getting the most out of your visit.
This place hosts more bird species than almost any other spot in Nevada and is a refuge for threatened species like the Southwestern willow flycatcher. This bird diversity makes the area a hotspot for birdwatchers from around the world.
