This peaceful desert retreat offers a wonderful variety of outdoor activities in a tranquil, uncrowded setting. Off-road enthusiasts will love the recently developed Cattle Run Trail, which takes riders through impressive canyons with outstanding views of the park’s striking ash-fall tuff rock formations. Two enjoyable one-way adventure loops — the 10-mile Hamblin Ranch Loop and the 3-mile Beaver Dam Wash Loop — make for great riding options. The landscape is diverse and scenic, featuring open ranchlands, pinyon-juniper covered hills, and dramatic rock canyons that follow the Beaver Dam Wash northward into the Tunnel Spring Wilderness Area. Other Information Motor vehicles are permitted on designated OHV trails only. The park also provides excellent opportunities for hiking, mountain and gravel biking, horseback riding, remote camping, and fishing. Beaver Dam delivers the kind of quiet solitude that makes Nevada’s parks special, combined with new trails and unique geology that keep visitors coming back. Helpful Tip Entry fees are required. This is a remote area, so come prepared with plenty of water and supplies.
