Hiko Springs, Nevada

Hiko Springs in 1871.

Hiko Springs, also spelled Hyko Springs, is a natural spring located at the farming community of Hiko, in Lincoln County, eastern Nevada. Its cool water flowing from the hillside spring supports the existence of the desert community.

Hiko Springs flows beyond the spring for about 5 miles (8.0 km) in the northern end of the Pahranagat Valley. It also supplies irrigation water for valley farms there, and for riparian habitats in the Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area. It fills the small Nesbitt Lake and Frenchie Lake within the Nevada state wildlife preserve.
