Yucca Mountain Oversight
Except where the Walker River enters the lake at its
northern end, Walker Lake's shores are virtually devoid of major riparian plant growth
due, no doubt, to highly variable lake levels. In this respect, Walker Lake's barren
shoreline resembles the other classic Great Basin desert terminal lakes (e.g., Pyramid
Lake in Nevada, Mono Lake in California, and the Great Salt Lake in Utah).
