Lovelock Cave
Tour the first archaeological excavation in the Great Basin
The Lovelock Indian Cave makes for an interesting geological tour, and is an important archaeological site as well. The cave system is situated approximately 22 miles southeast of Lovelock, on the shores of what was once Lake Lahontan. During their excavations — the Lovelock Indian Caves were the first archaeological excavation in the Great Basin — scientists found literally thousands of artifacts. Today, the cave is known locally as the Bat Cave or Guano Cave. An exhibit on the cave and the excavation can be enjoyed at the Pershing County Marzen House Museum in Lovelock.
