In the 1840's, Peter Lassen promoted the Applegate-Lassen Trail that led from the current day Rye Patch Reservoir to Rabbit Hole Spring and then to the Black Rock Hot Spring and then on to his ranch in northern California. The route led pioneers many miles out of their way. There was very little water at Rabbit Hole and no water from Rabbit Hole to Black Rock Springs. Lassen and Edward Clapper were murdered in 1859 in the Black Rock Range.
