Nothing like an amazing history to make a park stand out above the rest. Step back in time to the 1800’s Fort Churchill State Park. Hike the trails and soak up the history. Retrace part of the famous Pony Express. We won’t tell anyone if you get pretty wrapped up into the roleplay. Go for a quick dip in Carson River to cool off in the hot summer weather. Natural and historical beauty, what more could you possibly ask for?
