Sheep Creek Campground

Owyhee, Nevada

About

The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes Recreation Program is part of the Owyhee Community Health Facility. The Recreation program is here to provide the community with activities, to enhance their physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. The Department manages three rainbow trout fisheries: Lake Billy Shaw (fly fishing), Mountain View and Sheep Creek Reservoirs. The three fisheries and a stretch of the Owyhee River are open to angling at certain times of the year. A tribal fishing permit is required in order to fish the Duck Valley waters. The Department offers guided antelope hunts to non-tribal members from July 15 through October. The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes operates and maintains several camping areas at Wild Horse Reservoir, located 30 miles south of the reservation boundary. Day use, overnight, weekly and monthly camping is available. The reservoir itself is managed by the Nevada Division of Wildlife, so please obtain a Nevada fishing license before dropping a line. We hope you enjoy your visit and would love for you to send us pictures of your stay. Please send photos and comments to [fwp@shopai.org](mailto:fwp@shopai.org).
