Spring Valley State Park is a public recreation area adjoining the 65acres Eagle Valley Reservoir in eastern Nevada near the border with the state of Utah. The state park is located at the east end of Nevada State Route 322, east of the town of Pioche and near the village of Ursine.
The Eagle Valley Dam was built on Meadow Valley Wash in 1965, creating the Eagle Valley Reservoir for agricultural usage. The area around the reservoir was designated a state park in 1969.
The park offers camping, fishing, a boat launch, picnicking, hiking trails, historic ranch buildings, and a group-use area.
