Muddy River Headwaters Home of the Moapa Dace

At the uppermost part of the Muddy River system water comes out of the ground at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The source of this water is in the mountains in eastern Nevada, the Snake Range and some of the other mountains. The water flows down into the ground up there and surfaces in various places around Lund, and Pahranagat. Some faulting forces most of the water flowing down that pluvial White River system up to the surface at Warm Springs at Moapa. The multiple springs come together and form the Muddy River. These warm gentle waters are the home of several tiny fish species, some of which are endangered. In this video, we join a team of wildlife biologists at work on a fish count.

We used to farm between Logandale and Overton and we used to go fishing and swimming as kids in The Muddy River every single day, the river ran thru our farm, which was full of carp and catfish !!
