Lahontan State Recreation Area to benefit from AAA Nevada Donation
AAA Nevada will present $20,250 to the Nevada Division of State Parks to improve directional signs throughout Lahontan State Recreation Area. The public is invited to attend the check presentation ceremony that will take place Tuesday, October 23, at 1:30 p.m. at 901 S. Stewart Street in Carson City.
AAA Nevada teamed up to help Nevada State Parks help fund projects that would otherwise go unfunded. Throughout their “Summer Road Trip” campaign July 1 through August 30, AAA Nevada donated $5 to Nevada State Parks for every AAA insurance quote completed within each AAA branch office.
“We are thrilled and extremely grateful to receive AAA’s corporate support to improve the experience of our park visitors,” said David Morrow, Administrator for Nevada State Parks. Paul Gaffney, president and CEO of AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah said, “AAA is deeply committed to the legacy and the preservation of Nevada’s unique natural, cultural and historic resources.”
Lahontan Reservoir, with miles of sandy beach and lots of room to camp, boat, and recreate, is one of Nevada’s most popular recreation areas. Lahontan is located on the Carson River, 18 miles west of Fallon and 45 miles east of Carson City via U.S. 50. The park is open year-round and can be accessed from several entrances off U.S. 50 east of Silver Springs, and from an entrance off U.S. 95A, south of Silver Springs via Fir Avenue.
