Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge
Directions
The Moapa Valley NWR is located in the Warm Springs area of the upper Moapa
Valley in northeastern Clark County in southern Nevada. It lies just south of
State Highway 168 and the Muddy River, between Interstate 15 on the east and
U.S. Highway 93 on the west. The refuge is bounded on the North by Warm
Springs Road, on the south by Battleship Wash, and on the east and west by
private property. It is approximately 60 miles northeast of the city of Las
Vegas and 9 miles west of the town of Glendale.

Go straight (northwest) on Highway 168 for 7.4 miles to Warm Springs Road.
Turn left (southwest) on Warm Springs Road and drive for 1.4 more miles. The
refuge is on your left, when you see the chain link fence on both sides of the
road.
From St. George, Utah or Mesquite, Nevada, drive south on Interstate 15 to the

Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is open to the public from sunrise
until sunset every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from September through May.
Due to the refuge's small size, fragile habitat, and ongoing restoration work,
the refuge is closed during June, July, and August.
