Spring 2010

     Happy Spring!  Although you may not know Spring is here based on the weather coming across Northern Nevada.  We have had days in the mid-70's to low-80's followed by snow.  Typical Nevada.  However, the pool and hot tub are now open for the season and yes, the pool is heated.  Memorial Day Weekend is quickly approaching.  We hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday. 

     Walker River Resort's bar is now featuring five specialty martinis.  We have been working diligently during the winter to fine tune each recipe.  They are delicious!  Be sure to stop in at the bar to try a "Puckery Pirate" or the "Nevada Peach".   If you have room for dessert after dinner, there is also the "Hersheytini", a combination of Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur and Raspberry Vodka.  Kona Brewing Company's Longboard Ale is now on tap - a taste of the Hawaiian Islands without ever leaving Nevada.

     Walker River Resort will be hosting the "Relay for Life" Sporting Clays Shoot on June 12th, 2010. We hope you can join us for this important Cancer Association fundraiser.  For more information regarding start times and cost, please visit the Sporting Clays page or contact Linda McDaniels at (775) 266-4648.  Also, this winter a 15th station was added to the Green Course, a crossing pair high overhead.  We encourage you to try shooting this new station as well as shooting the other stations on the Green or White Courses.  Our sporting clays manger, Shane Gleason, is constantly changing machines for new and challenging target presentations.

     Big Bad Wolf will be performing on June 18th, 2010.  Please make your reservations as soon as possible as the full hook-ups are already reserved.

     Reservations can now be made online for Cottages and RV sites on our website--the site you are currently visiting;).  If you are making reservations as part of group, please mention the group name in the comments section.  You can also use the comment section for site requests.

     When visiting the area, you might make plans to travel the Virginia & Truckee (V&T)  Railroad.  This historic train runs from Carson City to Virginia City Thursday through Sunday starting May 27th, 2010.  The railroad was originally constructed in 1869 by private investors to connect the silver mines at Virginia City to the mills in Carson City and was known as the crookedest railroad in the country.  Visit www.steamtrain.org for more information. 

      The Resort’s main hosting season begins April 1^st and ends October 31^st.  During those 214 days, we hope to see many of you.  Walker River Resort is meant to be enjoyed and we enjoy having our guests visit.  Your suggestions and ideas are also appreciated.  We hope that in the past 27 years, Walker River Resort has become a special and unique place to visit and that our guests will continue building fond memories of their time spent here.
