Looking Ahead to the Future of This Park

Nevada State Parks envisions this park offering day-use recreation opportunities, which may include hiking, biking, fishing, equestrian use, and picnicking.

Nevada State Parks intends to develop a master plan to guide how the new park is designed and managed over time. A master plan ensures that public access, recreation, conservation, and infrastructure are carefully balanced—so that improvements enhance the visitor experience while protecting the landscape’s natural and cultural resources.

The planning process will include opportunities for public and stakeholder input, helping shape decisions about trails, access points, amenities, and long-term management. By establishing a clear vision from the outset, the master plan provides a roadmap for cohesive, well-informed development rather than piecemeal changes over time.


Public Access Currently Limited

The new state park is not yet open to public access. Fort Churchill Road, which passes through the park property, remains open to the public as a county road. Areas beyond Fort Churchill Road are currently closed to public use during the planning and development phase.

Prior to a full opening, Nevada State Parks will complete a master plan for the park and develop necessary amenities, which may include trailheads, trails, restrooms, and picnic areas.


Park Fees

No Park Fees at this time. 

Public access is limited to Fort Churchill Road while we seek public input and plan for the park's future.
