This is a new location to me.  I saw a display at the Nevada Museum of Art recently and it looked interesting.  River Fork Ranch is located at 381 Genoa Lane, Minden, NV 89423 near the historic town of Genoa in the Carson Valley.

Directions from Carson City:  Drive south on 395 for 8.7 miles
Turn Right onto SR 206/Genoa Lane and continue for 2.4 miles
The preserve and parking area will be on your left.  The watershed sculptures can be seen from the East Brockliss Trail Loop.
