Castle Lake is a glacial tarn in the Ruby Mountains, in Elko County in the northeastern part of the state of Nevada. It is located on a shelf near the head of Kleckner Canyon, at approximately 40°34.1′N 115°23.9′W / 40.5683°N 115.3983°W, and at an elevation of 9780 feet (2980 m). It has an area of approximately 14 acres (57,000 m2), and a depth of up to 15 feet (4.6 m). It is one of the sources of Kleckner Creek, which after exiting the mountains merges with other streams to form the South Fork of the Humboldt River.
