About Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park sits inside the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and was once a working ranch and private retreat. Its owners over the years included a German actress and the business magnate Howard Hughes. Visitors can see some of Nevada's oldest buildings, an 1860s blacksmith shop, the Sandstone Cabin once home to the founding family, and the ranch house, which can be toured inside. Trails run through the park, and tree-shaded picnic sites with tables, grills, and restrooms make it popular for family day trips. Living history programs held each spring and fall recreate pioneer life, and Super Summer Theater stages outdoor shows from May through September.
