Reese River

The Reese River in its upper reaches

The Reese River is a tributary of the Humboldt River, and is located in central Nevada in the United States. It arises in the southern Toiyabe Range, on the flanks of Arc Dome. It then flows north between the Toiyabe Range and the Shoshone Range for approximately half its length, then passes through a low point in the Shoshone Range and continues north between that range and the Fish Creek Mountains. It joins the Humboldt River near Battle Mountain.

In its upper reaches, the Reese River is a fast-flowing mountain stream surrounded by relatively lush growth including Aspen groves and Cottonwood trees. Once it exits the Toiyabe Range it becomes a slow, muddy stream and in most years dwindles into a chain of shallow pools long before it reaches the Humboldt River. Its waters are used for irrigation by scattered farms along its lower reaches.
