Dayton State Park is located in the town of Dayton, just 12 miles
east of Carson City, Nevada. It is a 160-acre park that is open
year-round, and features numerous conveniences, such as a dump
station, 11 day-use picnicking and group picnicking areas, Nevada
hiking and horseback riding trails, 10 campground units, a comfort
station and public restrooms. In addition, the mighty Carson River
flows right through Dayton State Park, providing excellent opportunities
for Nevada fishing and bird watching.
Dayton State Park is also the site of the historic Rock Point
Mill. Guided tours of the Rock Point Mill site are scheduled annually.
Nature and wildlife studies are also a big part of the park’s
mission. Those interested in learning more about the region’s
geography, flora and fauna can enjoy several interpretive talks,
including a fascinating lecture on native snakes. |
