National Park Overview
Anaho Island National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located - the eastern shoreline of Pyramid Lake, Washoe County, Nevada. The refuge was established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913 as a sanctuary for colonial nesting birds, primarily American white pelicans. Anaho Island is a part of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian Reservation, but is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System under an agreement with the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe.

To provide a secure environment for these colonial nesting birds -aho Island NWR is closed to the public. Boating is prohibited within 500 feet of the island.

Through February of 2006, there will be a unique volunteer opportunity weekly to visit the island and assist biologists in locating fish tags. Call Anaho Island Refuge Manager, Donna Withers at 775-423-5128 for more information.
