The Walker River State Recreation Area was established to restore and maintain Walker Lake and the vital agricultural and watershed areas along the Walker River. Stretching for 29 miles along the banks of the scenic East Walker River, the park features four important properties, namely the Pitchfork Ranch, the Flying M Ranch, the Rafter 7 Ranch, and the Nine Mile Ranch. Activities in the park include boating, fishing, camping, and hiking, along with horseback riding, waterskiing, and canoeing. The park is home to a wealth of wildlife, waterfowl, and shorebirds, including mallards, teals, and herons.
