Topaz Lake

Topaz Lake has served as an irrigation reservoir on Nevada’s border with California since the 1920s. Formed by impounding the West Walker River, it lies in a broad high-desert basin below the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada, with the state line crossing the water. Created in 1922, the reservoir stores water for downstream agriculture and has also become a well-established place for boating and fishing. Its shores sit between the ranch country of western Nevada and Mono County, California, far from major urban centres.
