内华达州最新州立公园定名十字路口峡谷:占地1627英亩、规划调查即日起开放

内华达州州立公园管理局10月31日宣布,位于该州莱昂县代顿市(Dayton)的最新州立公园用地正式命名为「十字路口峡谷州立公园」(Crossroads Canyon State Park),园区占地1627英亩。
这个名字来自一场公众参与的命名活动:2026年7月起征集命名建议,共收到2400个提案;经筛选后五个名字进入决选,8月约3000名公众参与投票,「十字路口峡谷」以过半票数胜出。名称呼应公园所在的卡森河走廊——这里自古是原住民、移民拓荒者、牧场、驿马快信(Pony Express)与卡森及科罗拉多铁路交汇的十字路口,也呼应代顿当地流传的「离婚牧场」旧事。
公园管理局局长Jonathan Brunjes表示,这个名字浓缩了峡谷交汇的多层历史,公众参与也将继续塑造这座新公园。10月31日至12月15日,管理局开放公众调查,收集公众对公园总体规划的意见,包括步道、出入口与设施布局。
目前该公园尚未对公众开放游憩。作为县道的Fort Churchill Road仍照常通行,路外区域在规划与建设期间封闭。管理局表示,待调查结果汇总后,将公布总体规划与开放时间表。
Nevada Names Its Newest State Park Crossroads Canyon: 1,627-Acre Park in Dayton Opens Public Planning Survey
The Nevada Division of State Parks announced on October 31 that the state's newest park property, 1,627 acres at Dayton in Lyon County, has been officially named Crossroads Canyon State Park.
The name came out of a public process that began in July 2026: residents submitted 2,400 suggestions, officials narrowed them to five finalists, and about 3,000 public votes cast in August gave Crossroads Canyon a majority. The name reflects the site's place in the Carson River corridor, a crossroads for Indigenous peoples, emigrant trails, ranching, the Pony Express and the Carson & Colorado Railroad, with a nod to Dayton's colorful 'divorce ranch' lore.
Parks Administrator Jonathan Brunjes said the name captures the layers of history that meet in the canyon, and that public participation will continue to shape the park. A public survey running from October 31 to December 15, 2026 will gather input for the park's master plan, covering trails, access and facilities.
The park is not yet open for recreation, and areas beyond Fort Churchill Road, which remains open as a county road, are closed while planning and development proceed. The division will announce the master plan and an opening timeline once the survey results are in.
