Pyramid Lake is the most beautiful desert lake in the world. Pyramid Lake is home to the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and the world-record Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and Ancient Cui-ui fishes. The Museum & Visitors Center collects, exhibits and preserves the history and culture of the Pyramid Lake and Paiutes and provides a forum for the appreciation, respect and understanding of our Numu Culture.
