Winnemucca Lake is a dry lake bed in northwest Nevada that features the oldest known petroglyphs in North America.

The oldest known petroglyphs in North America are in the Great Basin. Near the banks of Winnemucca Lake in Nevada, this rock art dates between 10,500 and 14,800 years ago. [12] Archaeologists called the local period 9,000 BCE to 400 CE the Great Basin Desert Archaic Period.
