Dayton State Park, State park with historic mill site in Lyon County, United States.
The 152-acre recreation area stretches along the Carson River, featuring woodland sections and natural trails through the Nevada landscape.
The Rock Point Stamp Mill, constructed in 1861, processed silver ore from the Comstock Lode until its relocation to Silver City in the 1920s.
The land served as a seasonal fishing camp for Paiute communities who gathered near the Carson River during winter months.
The park maintains ten camping sites for vehicles up to 34 feet, equipped with picnic tables, barbecues, and restrooms with flush toilets.
A pedestrian tunnel under U.S. Route 50 connects visitors to mill ruins, including concrete water tanks and stone retaining walls.
