About this park
Cathedral Gorge State Park covers nearly 2,000 acres of dramatic geological formations, where volcanic ash deposits and erosion carved unique patterns in the soft bentonite clay. Established in 1935 as one of Nevada's first four state parks, it preserves land once inhabited by the Fremont, Anasazi, and Southern Paiute peoples. Visitors hike a four-mile loop trail and the one-mile Miller Point trail, ride equestrian trails, picnic, and photograph the formations. The campground has 22 sites with shade ramadas, grills, and tables, with electric hookups available, and group accommodations are offered. A regional visitor center is open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
