Stage One Fire Restrictions in Place
Nevada State Parks is committed to protecting all residents and visitors through fostering wildfire-resilient landscapes and communities. We encourage visitors to recreate safely and responsibly to help prevent wildfires, protect lives and property, and preserve our precious natural wonders that we all love.
Each State Park or State Recreation Area may impose more stringent restrictions when they determine that the conditions warrant them. The State Park or State Recreation Area may not, however, be less restrictive.
