The Walker Lake Working Group, grassroots, non-profit organization working to restore Walker Lake, invites you to attend a Rehydration Celebration on Saturday, September 23. The event takes place at Walker lake’s Monument Beach, 12 miles north of Hawthorne, Nevada. This free event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is cause for celebration. With record snowpack and runoff in the Walker Basin, Walker Lake has risen a whopping 15 feet. Historically, upstream agricultural diversions in Nevada and California dropped the lake 180 vertical feet and placed it on the brink of ecological collapse.
