Walker River State Recreation Area provides public access to over 30 miles of the East Walker River through multiple developed units, with Pitchfork Ranch serving as the main headquarters featuring two campgrounds, cabin rentals, and a visitor center.

The area offers a 5. 6-mile water trail suitable for kayaking and floating, with designated put-in and take-out locations; check the water trail map and current river flow data before paddling.

Day-use entrance fee is $5 per vehicle ($10 for non-Nevada vehicles), and the park is accessed via East Walker Road south of Yerington.
