The Carson River is a northwestern Nevada river that empties into the Carson Sink, an endorheic basin. The main stem of the river is 131 miles (211 km) long although the addition of the East Fork makes the total length 205 miles (330 km), traversing five counties: Alpine County in California and Douglas, Storey, Lyon, and Churchill Counties in Nevada, as well as the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City, Nevada. The river is named for Kit Carson, who guided John C. Frémont's expedition westward up the Carson Valley and across Carson Pass in winter, 1844. The river made the National Priorities List (NPL) on October 30, 1990 as the Carson River Mercury Superfund site (CRMS) due to investigations that showed trace amounts of mercury in the wildlife and watershed sediments.

  • Der Carson River ist ein Fluss im Nordwesten des US-Bundesstaates Nevada. Die zwei Quellflüsse West Fork und East Fork des Carson River entspringen südlich des Lake Tahoe in der Sierra Nevada auf kalifornischem Gebiet und vereinigen sich in Nevada, bevor der Fluss Carson City erreicht. Der Carson River fließt von der Sierra Nevada nach Nordosten ins Große Becken und endet in der endorheischen (abflusslosen) Carson Sink (Carson-Senke). Zusammen mit dem Truckee River (nördlich) und dem Walker River (südlich) dient er der Wasserversorgung und Bewässerung der ariden Umgebung. Der Fluss ist nach Kit Carson benannt, der im Winter 1844 die Expedition von John C. Frémont nach Westen das Carson Valley hinauf und über den Carson Pass führte. (de)
