Pyramid Lake Scenic Byway
Dayton State Park, NV

Dayton State Park marks the site of one of Nevada's first permanent settlements. The Carson River flows through the park offering the chance for fishing and bird watching. This state park is located some distance from the byway, near Carson City. Visitors driving towards or away from the byway may want to stop here to camp and explore one of Nevada's earliest settlements.

Picnicking, camping, and group use facilities are available. The Rock Point Mill, once used to process rich silver ore, was built in 1861. Remnants of the mill are still visible within the park.
