State Route 723 (SR 723) is a 2-mile (3.2 km) state highway in Churchill County, Nevada, running through a rural area northwest of Fallon.
SR 723 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of downtown Fallon. From there, the highway runs northward along Soda Lake Road, a two-lane road through mostly residential and rural agricultural areas. The highway follows Soda Lake Road due north for about 2 miles (3.2 km) before reaching its terminus at an intersection with Cox Road, on the southeastern flank of the Soda Lakes volcano. [1] [2]
Near the northern end of SR723 are the Soda Lakes, Soda Lake Geothermal Plant, now-closed Coast Guard LORAN-C transmitter Fallon and some farms around the periphery of Soda Lakes.
The alignment of present-day SR 723 appears on maps as early as 1937. [3] [4] However, it was not designated as a state highway until January 1, 1978. [5]
The entire route is in Churchill County.
