Palisade Canyon is a canyon along the Humboldt River in northern Eureka County, Nevada, United States.
The Humboldt River, rather than flowing into the ocean, eventually loses all its water to evaporation in the Humboldt Sink, and stream-gauge measurements undertaken by the United States Geological Survey suggest that Palisade Canyon is the point where the river's flow ceases to increase and begins to decrease.
The canyon was named from a fancied resemblance to the Hudson River Palisades.
