Cold Lakes, Nevada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cold Lakes are a pair of glacial tarns in the Ruby Mountains, in Elko County in the northeastern part of the state of Nevada. They are located at the head of Cold Creek Canyon, at approximately 40°42.9'N and 115°18.1'W, and at an elevation of 9880 feet (3010 meters). They have a combined area of approximately 7.4 acres (3.0 hectares), and a depth of up to 28 feet (8.5 meters).
Cold Lakes are one of the sources for Cold Creek, which after exiting the mountains flows down Lamoille Valley, through the small Lake Phyllis reservoir, and then merges with the main branch of the Humboldt River.
