Pyramid Lake, Nevada, USA
"Pyramid Lake, famous for its Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) fishery, is located about 35 miles north of Reno on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian Reservation. Pyramid is a "high desert" lake (elevation 3,817 feet), and the water is about 1/6 as salty as sea water. The lake is flanked on the east and west by rugged mountain ranges, and around the lake shore there are many large "tufa" rock formations (formed by calcium carbonate deposits). Lots of folks come here just to enjoy the scenery." Extract in quotes taken from PyramidLakeFisheries.org
