The Engh Homestead is a 160-acre plot in northern Nevada, homesteaded in 1914 by Arnt Engh. It sits about 14 miles from Schoer Place, the nearest town, and the land carries the mark of its long history as a homestead. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 86°F in July, with lows near 49°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s and snow falls on a few days each month from November through March. For more time outdoors, the Marys River lies about 8 miles away and offers canoeing.
