High Rock Lake Wilderness, Wilderness area in Black Rock Desert, Nevada.

High Rock Lake Wilderness contains 60,000 acres of land with elevations ranging from 4,000 to 7,660 feet, featuring saltbrush and sagebrush vegetation throughout the territory.

The formation of High Rock Lake occurred approximately 11,800 years ago when a substantial rockslide blocked the outlet between High Rock and Little High Rock Canyons.

Native American tribes utilized the natural resources within the High Rock Lake region for sustenance, shelter, and traditional medicinal practices throughout generations.

Visitors need to bring sufficient supplies and navigation tools due to the remote location and absence of developed facilities within the wilderness boundaries.

The Fly Canyon section contains distinctive potholes formed by the circular movement of sand and gravel in the water stream over time.
