Lander County has great opportunities for year-round access to vast public lands where you can hike, mountain bike, camp, explore, hunt and fish without ever seeing another soul.

Battle Mountain
Battle Mountain is located near the geographic center of Nevada. It's the gateway to the rugged beauty of "America's Outback," where the adventurous traveler has plenty of room to roam. It's a land rich in history and adventure. Western Shoshone Native Americans, Basque sheepherders, cattle ranchers and of course, generations of miners, have all called this country their home.

Kingston
Kingston is another gateway to the Toiyabe Range in the Toiyabe National Forest. Kingston Canyon and surrounding canyons include camping in a Forest Service campground or in dispersed sites, premier hunting, hiking, and horseback riding along the Crest trail. The trail is over 60 miles in length and reaches elevations in excess of 8,000 feet above sea level.

Kingston Campground does not require reservations; restroom facilities and water are available. The campground is open late spring to early fall, dependent upon the weather.

In addition to the excellent hiking trails, lake and stream fishing abound. Armed with a Nevada fishing license, you could experience what is said to be some of the best fishing in the State. Kingston Creek and nearby Groves Lake will tempt you with an array of Brown, Brook and Rainbow Trout.
