Route description
SR 726 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 95 (US 95) approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of downtown Fallon. From there, the highway runs northeastward along Old River Road, a two-lane roadway following the Lower Soda Lake Drain through a rural agricultural area. After about 0.8 miles (1.3 km), SR 726 turns onto Bafford Lane, another two-lane farm road. The highway follows Bafford Lane due east for about 1 mile (1.6 km), ending at a bridge over the Carson River.[1][2]

History
The alignment of present-day SR 726 can be seen on maps dating as early as 1937. At that time, the Old River Road portion of the highway was a minimally-improved part of State Route 1A, a highway that connected Fallon to US 40 southwest of Lovelock.[1][3] However, SR 1A was rerouted to a newer alignment by 1957, thus removing the designation from Old River Road.[4] SR 1A would later become US 95.
SR 726 was established as a state highway on January 1, 1978.[5]
