On Wikipedia

South Fork State Recreation Area is a state park unit of Nevada, USA, surrounding the 1,650-acre (670 ha) South Fork Reservoir, located 15 miles (24 km) south of the town of Elko. The park comprises the reservoir, impounded on the South Fork of the Humboldt River in 1988, surrounded by 2,200 acres (890 ha) of marsh, meadowland, and hills. Facilities include a 25-site campground, a boat ramp, and a parking area near the South Fork Dam. The reservoir is known for its trophy-class trout and bass fishing. South Fork Canyon, managed by the Bureau of Land Management below the dam, is available for hiking, floating, and fishing.
