| While fishing and camping here on the Reservation, we encourage you to enjoy the large numbers of bird species. Bring binoculars to see different water and shore birds at the lakes. You may also drive around the reservoirs to see more birds but please stay on the main roads. Please remember that your stay here is a privilege. Understand that the area is governed by a sovereign body and respect for our land is critical. Please be extremely careful with campfires. Ensure that campfires are attended at all times or fully extinguished when not watched. The local fire department may put into effect burn bans or other restrictions at their discretion. Please help us maintain the beauty of Duck Valley by cleaning up after yourself. Please pick up and throw away your trash in proper areas. Do not litter.  Snakes such as rattlesnakes, gopher snakes, racers, and garter snakes are common from late spring to late summer. Be cautious where you walk and keep your pets safe. If you encounter a snake, remember that it is more afraid of you than you are of it. Just leave it alone and back off slowly. Please, be considerate of others by keeping your pets on their leashes and cleaning up after them. Cell Service Now Available on Reservation - Cell phone coverage is currently available on the Reservation. However, please be aware that if you have an emergency and call 911 you may be connected with Elko County Dispatch instead of being connected to the Owyhee Police Department, depending on your cell phone service carrier. Please inform the dispatcher of your location so they can get you assistance. If you need assistance or an emergency arises you may contact the local emergency services at (775)757-3624 or going to the police station (in Owyhee) and/or talking to one of the game wardens.
