Walker River State Recreation Area provides public access to over 30 miles of the East Walker River through multiple developed units, with Pitchfork Ranch offering the primary access point featuring a visitor center, two campgrounds (River Bend and Quail Run with RV hookups), rental cabins, and a 5.

6-mile water trail for paddling. Day-use and camping fees apply ($5 day-use per vehicle, $15 camping per night), and visitors should check current river conditions and water trail maps before paddling, as some sections are not recommended for floating.
