Winnemucca Lake
Winnemucca Lake is a dry lake bed lying in northwest Nevada. It is on the dividing line between Washoe and Pershing counties. Until the 1930s, it was a shallow lake, but was dried out by construction projects.
Winnemucca Lake is home to several petroglyphs long believed to be very old. In 2013, researchers dated the carvings to between 14,800 and 10,500 years ago. Either date would make them the oldest known petroglyphs found in North America. The carvings lie within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation.
