Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Nature reserve in Clark County, Nevada.
The Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge spans 136 acres of wetlands, marshes, and desert areas, protecting numerous native species in northeastern Nevada.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this refuge in 1979 to secure the survival of the Moapa dace in the Muddy River system.
The refuge operates as an environmental education center where visitors learn about desert ecosystems and endangered species conservation through interpretive displays.
Visitors can access the refuge from Friday to Sunday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM during September through May, with temporary closures through November 2024.
Three thermal springs within the refuge boundaries create specialized habitats for endemic species like the Moapa pebblesnail and Moapa riffle beetles.
