Wilson Reservoir is a man-made lake in Elko County, Nevada in the United States.[1] The reservoir was initially created in 1954 by the construction of Wilson Reservoir Dam. The Petan Ranch owns the reservoir, water rights, and a cabin, but public land surrounding the reservoir is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The reservoir impounds the Wilson Creek for irrigation storage.[2] It is located 83 miles north-northwest of Elko.[3]
