About Dayton State Park
152 acres of land preserve the remains of the Rock Point Stamp Mill, built in 1861 to process silver ore from the Comstock Lode. The mill site marks a piece of the region's mining history, giving visitors a direct link to the silver processing operations that once ran here. The park's acreage covers this historic milling ground in Dayton.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
