Walker Lake Interpretive Association Home Mission Fascinating Facts Summary The future of Walker Lake is in our hands. Diversion of the Walker River for agricultural uses during the past century has resulted in a decline of 126 feet from its 1882 elevation of 4083 foot. Years of drought have only intensified the dropping level of the lake and as the lake level drops salinity is increasing. If it increases beyond a certain level the fish will die and the birds will no longer stop at Walker Lake on their migratory journeys.
