The Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park includes a town dating back to the 1890’s, preserved in an arrested decay state. An authentic Nevada ghost town, several of the original buildings of Berlin still remain.

Trails take visitors through the town and share the town’s story. This unique state park also features the largest concentration of Ichthyosaur remains.

This ancient marine reptile swam the waters that once covered the central part of the state more than 225 million years ago. Protected fossils are displayed inside the Fossil House. Other activities at the park include picnicking, hiking, and both tent and RV camping.
