Beaver Dam State Park

Description

On the boarder of Nevada and Utah, this state park has a wide range of fun outdoor activities to offer, and is the most remote of the state parks. Visitors will experience the quiet solitude that makes Nevada park unique. The Beaver Dam Wash offers many great opportunities for hiking, mountain and gravel biking, horseback and OHV riding,

Terrain varies from ranchlands, high rock canyons bordering the riverbed, and surrounding hills of pinyon-juniper forest, The north end of the park goes up the Beaver Dam Wash, into the Tunnel Spring Wilderness Area.

The park allows OHV use, and has recently completed a motorized trail specifically for off-roaders, the Cattle Run Trail. This trail takes the rider through beautiful canyons with views of the amazing rock formations common to this area.

There are two fun adventure loops for OHV riders. Click here for a pdf map of the loops.

The Hamblin Ranch Loop is a fun, one-way loop about 10 miles long. From the park campgrounds, head North to the 4-mile long Hamblin Ranch Trail. At the main road, turn for about a mile to the trailhead for the Cattle Run Trail. This trail takes you south and east back to the main park road just south of the campgrounds.
The 3-mile Beaver Dam Wash Loop is also a one-way loop, going clockwise beginning at the Oak Knoll Trailhead and turning south along the Beaver Dam Wash, and then heading north along the main park road.
