Pyramid Lake Marina and Store

This small marina store sits on the southeast shore of Pyramid Lake, the desert’s largest remnant of ancient Lake Lahontan. More than just a fuel stop, it’s the only place to grab supplies, fishing permits, and gas within the 200,000-acre reservation. The store stocks basic groceries, ice, and fishing gear alongside standard fuel services. Expect higher prices than in town — you’re paying for the isolation.

Access is via SR-445 through Nixon, then 8 miles north on reservation roads. The store operates seasonal hours and can be closed unexpectedly, so don’t count on it for emergency fuel. A Pyramid Lake permit is required to be on the reservation, available here for $9 per vehicle per day.
