Washoe County's Deadman's Creek named for two ranch partners found dead in their cabin

Deadman's Creek is located in Washoe Lake State Park, Nevada. Half a mile west of the park's visitor center, off Eastlake Boulevard, hikers relax while walking the interpretive nature trail or Deadman's Creek Loop Trail. According to the book "Pioneers of the Ponderosa" by Myra Sauer Ratay, two partners owned a ranch in the southeast corner of Washoe Valley. On June 6, 1865, the two men were found dead in their cabin. The creek name memorizes this mysterious event.

As Deadman's Creek Trail leaves the riparian canyon, the single-track trail continues uphill traversing sagebrush slopes and passing rock outcrops, from where one can enjoy spectacular views of Washoe Lake.

#FindYourAdventure: See Ancient Petroglyphs in Nevada

Nevada’s Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area is a great place to take a walk, let the kids run, have a picnic, spend a few days camping, and look at ancient petroglyphs. Hickison offers long vistas, shade, and an opportunity to think about early Native Americans hunting, drawing on rock, and living in this area.

The cultural resources at this site are protected by federal law against damage, defacement, removal, etc., and visitors should take care to help protect these sites. The native rock should not be carved, painted or otherwise modified in any way.

This week, we invite you to explore many of the hidden gems on your public lands by checking out blm.gov/visit. We want to remind you to always be safe outdoors and make sure you prepare for whatever adventure you choose. Many of the recreation opportunities on BLM-managed public lands are often remote and rugged, offering unparalleled connections to the American outdoors.
