Humboldt County is located in the rugged high desert region of north-central Nevada, bordered on the north by Oregon and by neighboring Nevada counties to the west, south and east.

The County's 9,626 square miles offer some of the most varied, spectacular scenery in the State and a wide array of recreational opportunities.

The County's economy is derived in large part from its main industries: Mining, Agriculture, and Agricultural Services Tourism and Construction.

The County is located in the rich gold mining center of the Western U.S. and is the leading agricultural county in the State of Nevada with over 100,000 acres under cultivation.

Tourism is also a large part of the County's economic base due to the large numbers of visitors the gaming industry brings to the area and the draw of the beautiful wide open spaces, historical sites, and great hunting and fishing.

Humboldt County and Nevada Recreation

• Offering some of the finest fishing and camping in Northern Nevada is Rye Patch Reservoir, along the Humboldt River, covers 11,000 acres when full with 72 miles of shoreline. Here, visitors enjoy fishing, boating, water skiing, camping, and picnicking. A campground, boat launch and picnic sites are provided. Fishing season is year-round with a warm-water fishery with game species including white bass, walleye, white crappie, largemouth bass, bluegill, brown bullhead, and channel catfish.
• The Nevada State record walleye was caught at Rye Patch. Most park users prefer to visit during the warm months of late spring and summer. The area's climate is typical of northern Nevada's desert country. Rainfall is slight, averaging less then 6 inches annually. Clear, sunny skies are the rule, with summer daytime temperatures peaking near 90 degrees F. However, campers should note that summer temperatures can drop as much as 40 degrees at night. In mid-winter, daily highs average 40 degrees F, and nighttime temperatures sometimes drop below zero.
• Location: 2 miles NW of Rye Patch off I-80
• Reno, Nevada is a must see with 300 days of sunshine! What began as a small community built to serve westward travelers in the mid-1800s has become a bustling city that acts as the gateway to outdoor adventure in Nevada, aptly known as "America’s Adventure Place."
• Within an hour's drive of Reno, there are 15 ski resorts, 50 golf courses, Lake Tahoe, the state capital Carson City, thousands of biking and hiking trails, several lakes that are perfect for fishing and boating, and the entire length of the Truckee River, which runs right through the center of Reno's downtown. Couple those activities with Reno's hotels and casinos, plus a growing nightlife, and you have the perfect place to put up for a few days and enjoy some recreation. Kayakers can enjoy the Truckee River Whitewater Park (the centerpiece of the annual Reno River Festival), conveniently located downtown next to an eclectic mix of shops and eateries. Car enthusiasts should visit the National Automobile Museum if they can’t make it to Hot August Nights, Reno’s famous classic-car event. Plans are in the works for a downtown Triple-A baseball stadium, and outdoor superstore Cabela’s recently opened west of downtown in Verdi.
• Lake Tahoe - Blessed with sparkling natural beauty, has been selected as the #1 most popular destination in the United States, Lake Tahoe is considered the jewel of the High Sierra.

Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States, with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet, trailing only Oregon's Crater Lake.
• Incline Village comes by its name honestly. It is named for the Great Incline Tramway, built by loggers in the late 1870's. Today, Incline is where some of the world’s wealthiest people have built stunning mountain retreats. This eastern North Shore enclave features some of Tahoe’s most peaceful beaches and a refined approach to Lake Tahoe life. In summer, theatergoers flock to see the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at nearby Sand Harbor. Mountain bikers get their game on with perfect trails down the Flume trail, which drains into the Village. Winter sees snow boarders and skiers maneuvering to Diamond Peak and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. Additionally, the Reno casino gaming is only a short drive away.
• Ever been in two states at the same time? The California/Nevada state line carves a line through Crystal Bay and you can actually swim from one state to the other in the Cal-Neva Resort's swimming pool. This is a very cool event, similar to the “four corners”. The Lake Tahoe neighborhood of Crystal Bay surveys its namesake and sits upon a magnificent granite boulder spread peninsula. This is where Frank Sinatra, Jack Kennedy , Marilyn Monroe and Sam Giancana – stayed and played here in the '60s. There are four lively casinos with an extensive quantity of Lake Tahoe lodging and dining, plus an incredible amount of live entertainment.
• Boating is to Carnelian Bay what blue is to Lake Tahoe. In summer, it is life. The Sierra Boat Company, considered a premier US wooden boat builder, opened here in the early 1950’s, annually draws boat fanatics from around the world to see their classic woodies to the Concours d'Elegance wooden boat show for a weekend of nostalgic cruising and flair. The town was christened Carnelian Bay in 1860 because of the semi-precious yellow and red stones sprinkling the shoreline. Today, a plentiful prize of vacation rentals contour the bay as well. Carnelian Bay is also considered the place where big, hungry Mackinaw trout can be found lurking in the depths.
• Tahoe City is perched on the north shore of Lake Tahoe at the headwaters of the Truckee River (the only river outlet for Lake Tahoe). A concoction of lively year-round activities awaits every visitor. Bike/walk/jog/skate the unspoiled trail system along the Lake, across the historic Lake Tahoe dam and down the river. Soak up the summer sun with a host of challenging water sports, family fun, outdoor concerts, art shows, movies at the beach, farmers’ markets, lakeside camping, back country hiking and mountain biking. Also, don’t forget to feed the colossal trout from Fanny Bridge (sorry, no fishing there).
