Beaver Dam State Park is located along Beaver Dam Wash in Lincoln County, on the Nevada / Utah state line. It covers an area of over 2,000 acres and was among the first four state parks established by the Nevada Legislature in 1935. It is eastern Nevada's most remote park, but don’t let that deter you. Beaver Dam’s primitive and rustic character, as well as activities such as picnicking, hiking, camping, and trout fishing, will impress even the toughest of nature enthusiasts. Expect stunning landscapes and scenery, including deep canyons, warm springs, flowing streams and waterfalls, outcrops of volcanic rocks, and thickly wooded forests which are home to wildlife such as coyotes, foxes, bobcats, mountain lions, snakes, lizards, and so much more.
The state park is open year-round and experiences variable rainfall, however, thunderstorms are common during the monsoon months of July and August. Summer high temperatures average about 93˚F, with lows around 50˚F at night, while winter high temperatures average 45˚F with lows of 25˚F.

Beaver Dam State Park might be very popular for camping, but people also flock here because of the wide range of fun outdoor activities on offer. Whether you’re hoping to enjoy hiking the park’s scenic trails, picnicking, trout fishing, or more – there’s certainly something for every type of traveler at Beaver Dam State Park.
Hiking: Beaver Dam contains trails for many levels of hiking experience, and perhaps the most famous of these is the Overlook Trail, as its vantage point offers a 360-degree panorama of the canyon. Other recommended trails include the Oak Knoll Trail (bring a fishing rod!) and the Waterfall Trail.
Picnicking: Is there anything more relaxing than enjoying good food and company out among nature? There’s a day-use area at the east end of Campground A, which has picnic tables, potable water, barbecue pits, and restroom facilities. A second picnic area can also be found at the park's southern boundary.
Fishing: The state park is also famous for its fishing, particularly in the streams below the day-use area and Oak Knoll Trail, as the Nevada Department of Wildlife stocks the streams with rainbow trout. Just keep in mind that a Nevada Fishing License is required for anglers over the age of 12.
