Spring Valley State Park sits in eastern Nevada near the Utah border, built around Eagle Valley Reservoir. Visitors come to fish for trout, launch boats, swim, and camp. Waterfowl and shorebirds gather on the water, and eagles and hawks ride the air above the canyons. Hikers can follow a developed trail between the Stone Cabin and the Ranch Campground, or walk the reservoir shoreline. The park also lets people tour ranches dating to the late 1800s. Archaeological evidence suggests people lived in the valley thousands of years ago. Park rules limit drones, require pets to stay leashed, and set quiet hours overnight.
