}}Kershaw–Ryan State Park is a public recreation area on Nevada State Route 317, {{convert|2|mi}} south of the town of Caliente, Nevada. The state park covers {{convert|265|acre}} at the northern end of Rainbow Canyon in an area that was homesteaded in 1873.HistoryThe canyon was settled in 1873 by Samuel and Hannah Kershaw, who operated a ranch called the Meadow Valley Wash Ranch. In 1904, they sold the property to rancher James Ryan, who donated the land to the state in 1926 to be a public park. The Civilian Conservation Corps developed visitor amenities in 1934, and Kershaw–Ryan State Park was officially established as one of Nevada's first four state parks the following year.[5] A flash flood in 1984 destroyed most of the park's facilities, including the stone caretaker's cabin built by the CCC. After rebuilding and redesign, the park reopened in 1997.[6] Activities and amenitiesThe park offers camping, picnicking, and a group-use area. Hikers can explore the {{convert|1.5|mi|adj=on}} Canyon Overlook Trail and shorter Rattlesnake Loop. References1. ^1 {{cite gnis|854934|Kershaw-Ryan State Park}}
