While up in Floyd Lamb Park, visitors can also explore Tule Springs Ranch, one of the best examples of Pleistocene paleontological sites in western North America. Tule Springs was visited by large prehistoric mammals in an era when the southern Nevada area was much cooler and wetter. Fossil remains of extinct mammoths, bison, horses, camels, giant sloths and other animals.

Tule Springs also was a self-supporting ranch. One hundred acres was set aside for alfalfa and cattle; other animals were raised and sold, as well as several vegetable varieties. Its many functional wooded buildings still exist. Tule Springs is a great place for an afternoon picnic or stroll.
