Walker River State Recreation Area provides public access to nearly 30 miles of the East Walker River across multiple ranch units, with the Pitchfork Ranch headquarters offering a visitor center, two campgrounds (Riverbend and Quail Run with RV hookups), and cabin rentals.

The area features well-maintained dirt roads and multiple put-in/take-out locations for kayaking and floating, with a water trail map available from park staff to help navigate current river conditions.

Day-use fees are $5 per vehicle, and the visitor center (Tues-Fri 9am-4pm, Sat-Sun 10am-2pm) can provide orientation and detailed information about access points and recreation opportunities.
