Ever seen a Phainopepla? Your chances are good at Corn Creek! Corn Creek is a little oasis in the desert northwest of the Las Vegas Valley. A small year-round stream flows from a spring and provides for a pond, large trees, and local wildlife, especially birds. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be our host and Red Rock Audubon Society will guide our birding
Corn Creek is the main field station of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge, our largest refuge south of Alaska. At Corn Creek there are short trails, a picnic area, and a recently-built visitor center. The visitor center has exhibits detailing the natural history of the Refuge and accessible restrooms.
The Corn Creek walking/rolling trails are a system of intersecting loops along and crossing the stream under large trees and through desert environment. Several informational kiosks are placed along trails to describe either natural history topics or pre-Las Vegas human history. Trail surfaces are coated with stabilized, natural aggregate to create a firm surface. Most of the trails are fairly flat although one trail has a short steep section (10%). The loop trails total only 0.7 mile. Here is more info about these trails.
Meet at 11:30 at Corn Creek.
Corn Creek is a ways out of town, north of Las Vegas. To get there, take U.S. 95 north toward Reno. Go past the U.S 95/Clark County 215 interchange at Centennial Hills, then past the Durango, Snow Mountain, and Kyle Canyon (Mount Charleston) exits. At 6 miles north of the Snow Mountain exit, at mile marker 101, turn right (east) onto Corn Creek Road. If you reach the second road to Mount Charleston (Lee Canyon), you have gone too far. You can see Corn Creek when you turn off U.S. 95. Corn Creek is a cluster of trees across the valley floor at the end of the road. Continue down this paved road 4 miles to the visitor center. Covered parking is available at the Visitor Center.
