Walker River State Recreation Area provides public access to 30 miles of the East Walker River through the Pitchfork Ranch headquarters near Yerington, featuring a 5.

6-mile water trail suitable for kayaking and paddling with designated put-in and take-out locations.

The area offers day-use access ($5 per vehicle), two developed campgrounds (River Bend and Quail Run with RV hookups), a visitor center, and well-maintained dirt roads for exploration.

Check the water trail map and current river flow data before paddling, as some sections are not recommended for floating.
