The Nevada Division of Wildlife stocks Schroeder Reservoir and the streams with rainbow trout. Desert suckers and golden shiner fish are also locally abundant. Situated in rugged canyon country, this 2,393-acre park is located approximately 34 miles east of Caliente adjacent to the Utah border. Motorists can reach the park by driving six miles north of Caliente on US 93, then 28 miles east on a graded gravel road that leads to the park entrance. The park sits at an elevation of 5,000 feet.
Weather is highly seasonal with wide variations in temperature.
Although the park is open year-round, harsh winter conditions with heavy snowfalls and temperatures dropping below zero limit access. During winter months, only vehicles with four wheel drive are recommended. Rainfall is variable, with thunderstorms common in July and August. Current fees are posted at the park entrance. A shade ramada, with capacity for 50 persons, may be reserved for group use.
