This little Jewel in the desert outside of Las Vegas is a nature lovers paradise and a great getaway if the strip becomes too much. Located in Henderson, Nevada, about 40 minutes south of Las Vegas, the Preserve centers around the City's Wastewater Reclamation Facility. The location is on the eastern edge of the Pacific Flyway and with it being the third largest body of water in Southern Nevada makes this an ideal place for migrating birds as well as a variety of native birds.
The preserve is 140 acres and is comprised of 9 ponds making access easy to view the birds. Take advantage of the tower to see the preserve from above and get an idea of where to go. Make sure to check in at the Nature Center for the list of special sightings and interesting finds for the day.
