Carson Valley is an outdoor adventurer’s playground, with activities year-round.
Fishing for rainbow, German brown, or cutthroat trout is popular at Topaz Lake, the Carson River, and streams and ponds in the valley. Hikers enjoy lush green trees, vibrant wildflowers, and abundant wildlife.

Nearby, Lake Tahoe is home to ski resorts and sandy beaches, and boasts some of the world’s best terrain for climbing, hiking, and biking. The Minden-Tahoe Airport, a general aviation facility, is known as home base for one of the best places in the world for gliders and soaring. Glider and hot air balloon rides are available most of the year.
