Meadow Road is a short, easy hike on land managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Nevada, about half a mile from the town of Duckwater. The route is an out-and-back of about a mile, with a total climb of just 11 feet, so it's a flat walk that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 70°F, while July averages about 94°F and January highs sit near 41°F. Duckwater Falls is about 0.3 miles away, and Sugarshack Road is about a mile off. Duckwater Creek, a canoeing spot, lies roughly 2.7 miles away, and Duckwater Road is about 2.8 miles away.
