Silver Springs

The Carson River and Lahontan Reservoir define the setting of Silver Springs — their water supports irrigation and recreation amid the dry basins and mountain ranges of western Nevada. This Lyon County community stands at the junction of U.S. Routes 50, often called the Loneliest Road in America, and 95A, linking the Reno–Fernley area with Fallon and routes farther east. Nearby Fort Churchill State Historic Park preserves adobe ruins of a U.S. Army post established in 1860 to protect overland mail routes. Lake Lahontan, formed by the Lahontan Dam on the Carson River, is used for boating, fishing and shoreline recreation.
