About Nevada State Parks

Nevada State Parks blend desert beauty with rugged mountains and fascinating historical sites.

Nevada’s state parks showcase the stark beauty of the desert and the grandeur of rugged mountain landscapes.

For a serene lakeside retreat, Cave Lake State Park provides fishing, kayaking, and camping surrounded by the picturesque Schell Creek Range.

In addition to their natural splendor, Nevada’s state parks preserve the state’s rich cultural and historical heritage. Fort Churchill State Historic Park offers a glimpse into the state’s pioneer past with its preserved adobe ruins and scenic trails along the Carson River. Meanwhile, Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park combines fossilized marine reptiles from the Jurassic period with a well-preserved ghost town, offering a unique blend of natural and historical exploration.
