Sparks Marina Park

Great fishing hole

Description

This former gravel pit has been transformed by the city of Sparks into one of the nicest fishing areas around. With walking paths, trees and sandy beaches, this is a great place for a family outing. The lake has been stocked with trout, all catchable and trophy-sized. And the best feature is its proximity, only ten minutes from anywhere in Reno/Sparks. Admission is free, but one must have a valid Nevada fishing license when angling for trout. No gas engine watercraft are allowed. Rowboats, float tubes and electric motorcraft are permitted.
