Echo Canyon Reservoir State Recreation Area

Archeologists believe this area was occupied as long ago as 5,500 BC. However, without any evidence of permanent dwellings, it appears the area served only for seasonal hunting and gathering camps. A few artifacts and petroglyphs found around the park indicate the presence of more recent Shoshone groups, including the modern Southern Paiute. It is important for all visitors to know that State and Federal laws protect all artifacts and rock art. They should be left undisturbed for future generations to enjoy.
