Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Echo Canyon State Park adventure.
This southeast Nevada park offers excellent fishing, water sports, and camping.
Once used by the ancient Fremont people as a seasonal hunting and fishing grounds, and later settled by early pioneers, Echo Canyon State Park is a popular recreation destination in southeastern Nevada today. The 65-acre Echo Canyon Reservoir offers some of the best fishing in the region, and is stocked with rainbow trout, largemouth bass, crappie, and German brown. Boating, swimming, picnicking, and wildlife watching are also popular. The Ash Canyon trail lets visitors explore the park’s backcountry, while two campgrounds offer more than 50 sites for tent and RV campers with full hookups, flush toilets, drinking water, and a dump station.
The park is open year-round. Summer is the most popular time to visit the park and its reservoir, and ranger talks are also available at this time. At the height of summer, reservoir levels may drop too low to use the boat ramp, though boats can still be launched from shore. Thunderstorms can be common over the summer. Winters can be cold, and snowfall is common, which can affect road and other access.
