Quick Summary

Anaho Island is a national wildlife refuge located within Pyramid Lake in western Nevada, United States. Established in 1913, it serves as a crucial sanctuary for waterfowl, including cormorants, great blue herons, and seagulls. It is also one of only eight nesting areas for white pelicans in the western United States. The island is situated in Pyramid Lake, which is a remnant of ancient Lake Lahontan and the largest natural lake in Nevada. The lake itself is known for its Lahontan cutthroat trout and is home to the endangered cui-ui fish. Anaho Island is closed to the public to protect its wildlife.1
