Echo Canyon State Park is a public recreation area located about 12miles east of the town of Pioche, Nevada, United States. The state park surrounds the 70acres Echo Canyon Reservoir. The scenic area around Echo Canyon has several ranches and farms. The park ranges in elevation from to and sees occasional winter snows.
The reservoir was created with the building in 1969–70 of the Echo Canyon Dam in the Meadow Valley Wash approximately ten miles downstream from Eagle Valley Reservoir. It is also a historical site along the Mormon trail. Following development of a camping area, the Nevada Division of State Parks took control of operations in 1970.
The park offers campsites, picnicking, boat launch, and fishing. The 2.5mile Ash Canyon hiking trail leads into backcountry areas of the park.
