Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
A broad alkaline playa and salt-flat mosaic in the Salt Wells Basin south of Fallon, gazetted as Eightmile Flat between the Bunejug Mountains and the Sand Mountain / Fourmile Flat system—remnant Lake Lahontan basin floor rather than a single dune. Open BLM desert walking and photography country: white salt crust, borate-district geology context, and big empty horizons distinct from the OHV-focused Sand Mountain Recreation Area to the east.
