The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe’s Watercraft Inspection and Decontamination (WID) Station in Sutcliffe, NV will
be open on the days leading up to, and on October 1, 2024, and is located at the junction of Sutcliffe Drive and State Route 445. It is mandatory for all watercraft to stop when the WID Station is open. Please stop every time with your watercraft – it is not an annual pass once you pass the first inspection. Look for the Open and Closed signs along Pyramid Highway near the Creel Station and north of Nixon along State Route 446. Please act in
accordance to all signs; enter the WID Station off State Route 445, and follow instructions for the inspection
process. If a Pyramid Lake Certified Inspector finds any water, mud, plants, animals, or other conditions that may
harbor aquatic invasive species, the boat will require a professional decontamination prior to launching, which
comes at an additional cost. Arriving Clean, Drained, and Dry will help protect Pyramid Lake and get you on the
water faster.
Anyone found that is not in compliance with the inspection process or launches potentially contaminated with
aquatic invasive species may be subject to a fine for unlawful acts up to $5,000. For more details on aquatic
invasive species and Clean, Drain, and Dry procedures, please visit the Pyramid Lake Aquatic Invasive Species
website at www.pyramidlakeais.org where you can also find additional resource links.
For boaters, please have a valid boating permit before arriving at the lake. Make sure to have enough life jackets
for use, emergency lights, fire extinguisher on board, flare or flare guns in case of emergency, whistles or air horns; wind conditions at the lake can happen suddenly, and boaters must leave the lake when white caps are
present. Pyramid Lake can be dangerous to anyone who doesn’t respect its warnings.
The Pyramid Lake Stores (I-80 Smokeshop, Nixon Store and the Marina) will open at 5:00 am with free coffee
and donuts for Opening Day (October 1, 2024). Store hours: I -80 Smokeshop: 6:00 am –9:00 pm; Nixon Store:
