To my surprise while traveling to the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge Sunday that I found out that the gas station at Denio Junction is shut-down!! I spoke with the bartender and she said they do not expect to have gas until September "at the earliest".
The telephone number to the Denio Junction Cafe/Bar is: (775) 941-0171 .. you may call to verify and get updates on when gas may be available there.
A message is posted on the pumps there: "We will be out of gas until New Tanks & Dispensers are installed this spring. Nearest fuel is
North - Fields (OREGON) 26 miles
South - Paradise Chevron Station(north of Winnemucca) 77 miles
West - Adel (OREGON) 82 miles Lakeview (OREGON) 115 miles"
The above mileage information is "one way" travel from Denio Junction. And of course a gas station attendant must gas your vehicle for you in Oregon, they are not self-service. Their hours of operation are limited.
There is also Cedarville, California which is approximately 46 miles from the southwest boundary of the Sheldon which "I believe" is self-serve?? As I remember the road is part gravel and part paved.
I brought two full 5 gallon gas cans as precaution and it payed off this trip . I will take more than two on my next trip for sure.
Be safe and best of luck to everyone.
