Robinson Lake (Nevada)
Lake in Nevada, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robinson Lake is a glacial tarn in the Ruby Mountains, in Elko County in the northeastern part of the state of Nevada.[1] It is located just south of the shelf of Soldier Basin,[2] and at an elevation of 9,194 feet (2,802 meters).[3] It has an area of approximately 17 acres (6.9 hectares), and a depth of up to 5 feet (1.5 meters). The lake is the source for Robinson Creek, which drops steeply to the east into Ruby Valley. Both were named for a family of early settlers in Ruby Valley.[citation needed] The lake is a fishing spot for brook trout.[4]
