The drive from Santa Fe is nail-biting in spots. 10mph hairpin curves after Los Alamos. Once past…read morethat area, I was able to release my trepidation. The tall pines are beautiful except for the fire damaged areas. The lake is very low. None the less, lots of fishing happening and campers seemed relaxed, enjoying their spot in this peacefully quiet place in nature.

Let me preface by writing lake reviews should be based off of other similar lakes in a general…read moregeographical location. You simply can't compare this little trout lake with say, Lake Superior! Right? So, I haven't been to enough New Mexico fishing lakes to provide an honest assessment. Having that written, it's a nice little lake. Not horrendously far from us city folk in Albuquerque. It has camping spots and is just as accommodating for day use folk as it is for campers. Rather small though, and for the curious, no motorized craft allowed. Just canoes and little blow up guys out there. We went on Father's Day, arrived at about 0730 and we were still hard pressed to lay claim to a good spot. However, by the time we rolled at noon, insane infestation of humans crawling all over, under, and beside one another for a place to cast their line. In fact, as we drove out the forest rangers had the entrance blocked off. It was 100% full! What did that do for the fish catching odds? It ruined it! Or, maybe I'm just a lousy fisherman, IDK. In any case, it wasn't the best day to land that big one. But you know what they say, a bad day of fishing beats a good day at work every time! Give 'em a go, I think you be pleased. Cheers!
