Fish Lake Valley is a 25-mile-long endorheic valley in southwestern Nevada, one of the inward-draining basins that make up the Great Basin. Its alluvial floor lies just northwest of Death Valley, bordering the southeastern flank of the White Mountains, with its southwestern portion extending into California's Inyo and Mono counties. The valley is sparsely populated, home mainly to ranchers and Paiute residents, with its post office and commercial services centered in the town of Dyer.
