Go Wild! Wildlife can be found in every New Mexico State Park. Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park is just that--a zoo to view wildlife. Rio Grande Nature Center State Park offers indoor and outdoor wildlife viewing. Heron Lake State Park is famous for majestic Osprey, also known as the fish hawk.
Catch a Memory!
Fishing is one of the most popular activities at our NM State Parks. Twenty-four parks have ponds, streams, rivers or lakes, providing a variety of fishing experiences.
From a lazy afternoon casting for pan-fish to a high-energy adventure fishing for 40-inch Tiger Muskie, NM State Parks have a lot to offer.
In northern New Mexico, trout is king when it comes to sport fishing. Rainbow, brown, lake and cutthroat trout can all be found in cold water lakes, rivers and streams. Parks with great trout fishing are: Navajo Lake, Bluewater Lake, Cimarron Canyon, Eagle Nest Lake, El Vado Lake, Fenton Lake, Heron Lake, Clayton Lake, Coyote Creek, Morphy Lake and Sugarite Canyon State Parks.

Baby, You’re a Star!State Parks has many star parties throughout the year. The night sky has enlightened and inspired for thousands of years, and New Mexico is blessed with dark, beautiful night skies showcased at our parks.
Observatories at State ParksState Parks has three astronomical observatories in the system, which allow visitors to learn from experts and see night sky objects.
City of Rocks State Park - This observatory was the first in the system. The roll-off roof allows for amazing viewing, and visitors can see distant galaxies and night sky objects on video monitors or through smaller scopes. Astronomers provide regular programs.
Clayton Lake State Park - A partnership with volunteers and local astronomers was the drive for this observatory. Located in the central part of the park, a state of the art telescope and regular star parties afford visitors with great night sky views.
Leasburg Dam State Park - This newest observatory was a partnership between the Astronomical Society of Las Cruces (ASLC) and the NM State University Astronomy Department. The ASLC loaned a research-grade telescope to the park, and volunteers provide programs and conduct research.
Meet the Stars!State Parks regularly holds star parties through
knowledgeable rangers, professional and amateur astronomers, and volunteers. From star gazing basics with views through individual telescopes, to large-scale observatory experiences, State Parks has programs for
all levels of night sky enthusiasts.
Camping and RV’ing in parks allows visitors to experience parks on a local level. Here are some of the great activities and programs featured in State Parks.

Catch a Memory!
Fishing is one of the most popular activities at our NM State Parks. Twenty-four parks have ponds, streams, rivers or lakes, providing a variety of fishing experiences.
From a lazy afternoon casting for pan-fish to a high-energy adventure fishing for 40-inch Tiger Muskie, NM State Parks have a lot to offer.
In northern New Mexico, trout is king when it comes to sport fishing. Rainbow, brown, lake and cutthroat trout can all be found in cold water lakes, rivers and streams. Parks with great trout fishing are: Navajo Lake, Bluewater Lake, Cimarron Canyon, Eagle Nest Lake, El Vado Lake, Fenton Lake, Heron Lake, Clayton Lake, Coyote Creek, Morphy Lake and Sugarite Canyon State Parks.

Baby, You’re a Star!State Parks has many star parties throughout the year. The night sky has enlightened and inspired for thousands of years, and New Mexico is blessed with dark, beautiful night skies showcased at our parks.
Observatories at State ParksState Parks has three astronomical observatories in the system, which allow visitors to learn from experts and see night sky objects.
City of Rocks State Park - This observatory was the first in the system. The roll-off roof allows for amazing viewing, and visitors can see distant galaxies and night sky objects on video monitors or through smaller scopes. Astronomers provide regular programs.
Clayton Lake State Park - A partnership with volunteers and local astronomers was the drive for this observatory. Located in the central part of the park, a state of the art telescope and regular star parties afford visitors with great night sky views.
Leasburg Dam State Park - This newest observatory was a partnership between the Astronomical Society of Las Cruces (ASLC) and the NM State University Astronomy Department. The ASLC loaned a research-grade telescope to the park, and volunteers provide programs and conduct research.
Meet the Stars!State Parks regularly holds star parties through
knowledgeable rangers, professional and amateur astronomers, and volunteers. From star gazing basics with views through individual telescopes, to large-scale observatory experiences, State Parks has programs for
all levels of night sky enthusiasts.
Camping and RV’ing in parks allows visitors to experience parks on a local level. Here are some of the great activities and programs featured in State Parks.
