Santa Rosa State Park in Santa Rosa, New Mexico

Santa Rosa State Park

Northeast region of New Mexico Santa Rosa Lake State Park, a Pecos River reservoir on the Llano Estacado (staked plains), offers a variety of water sports. Anglers often catch bass, catfish and walleye. Hiking trails wind through the wild areas around the lake.

Eagles roost on snags at water's edge and on small islands on the lake. Also look for scaled quail, mourning dove and migrating osprey.

The Corps of Engineers Visitor Center had displays about area history, creation of dam and natural history. Nearby Santa Rosa is famous for its clean natural lakes where fledgling scuba divers from around the country come to learn scuba diving.
