Percha Dam State Park

Percha Dam State Park may well be the greatest hidden treasure of the New Mexico State Park system. Virtually unknown (although word is getting out), it is a quiet and serene get-away under the shade of tall trees. The area is covered with a blanket of grass protected by cottonwood, salt cedar and Russian olive trees. The park provides excellent fishing and bird watching along the river. At an elevation of 4,100 feet, this park covers 80 acres of land and 11,500 acres of lake. The park itself is covered with a blanket of grass protected by cottonwood, salt cedar and Russian olive trees. The park provides excellent fishing and bird watching along the river.

Recreational opportunities include camping, picnicking, and fishing. Park visitors can also enjoy swimming and sunbathing. Trails provide hiking opportunities along the river.
