The South Fork State Recreation Area is a state park in the central part of Elko County, Nevada, in the western United States. Located 15 miles (24 km) south of the town of Elko, it is in the Central Nevada Region of Nevada State Parks.

The park is composed of a 1650 acre (6.68 km²) reservoir impounding the flow of the South Fork of the Humboldt River, surrounded by 2200 acres (8.9 km²) of marsh, meadowland, and hills. Facilities include a 25-site campground, a boat ramp, and a parking area near the South Fork Dam. The reservoir is known for its trophy-class trout and bass fishing. South Fork Canyon, located below the dam, is available for hiking.
