Spring Valley State Park

Spring Valley State Park is located about 18 miles northeast of Pioche on State Route 322, around the shores of the Eagle Valley Reservoir. The State Park offers camping, picnicking, boating, fishing, and hiking.

This part of Nevada was first settled in 1864 by a group of Mormon pioneers. In Eagle Valley, they established the Millet Ranch, Rice Ranch and several other good-sized ranch holdings. The Park Headquarters are in the refurbished Millet Ranch homestead. The Park occupies 1,281 acres, of which 59 acres is the Eagle Valley Reservoir. The reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout by the Nevada Division of Wildlife.
