Rye Patch State Recreation Area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rye Patch State Recreation Area is a state recreation area in Nevada. Nevada State Route 401 (Rye Patch Road) runs east 2.3 miles from the area to I-80/US 95. The Rye Patch Dam forms the Rye Patch Reservoir on the Humboldt River.
In the mid-1800s, particularly during the California Gold Rush, the Applegate-Lassen Cut-Off of the California Trail left the main route of that Trail near present-day Rye Patch Reservoir, and crossed the Black Rock Desert, on the way to Goose Lake in northwest California, and the California gold fields.
