State lands in Nevada include 14 state parks and recreation areas that offer unique and
rewarding opportunities for residents and visitors. You can visit an old Army fort that dates
back to the 1860s; marvel at the fossil of the giant ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived 250
million years ago; visit beehive-shaped charcoal ovens; or view spectacular red sandstone
formations.
Other state lands include recreation areas, wildlife areas managed by the Nevada Division of Wildlife, and state trust lands. State wildlife areas provide hunting opportunities for big game
and waterfowl during season, but they are also important habitat for many species and provide
wintering grounds or stopover places for migrating birds.
