We camped at Farmington lake and explored New Mexico. Beautiful place! Only wished they had hook ups for our trailer, but we had fun as it was.
Between the varied fishing, hiking, and swimming options, Farmington Lake also allows the use of boats and kaiaks. The only restrictions are that there are no gas engines allowed and all water craft must be inspected before each time it is launched into the lake. This safety measure is a quick and painless stop on your way in, so no stress. Current planning has handicapped fishing areas, overnight campgrounds, large and small day use areas, and walking or biking paths being installed, adding to the allure for out of town visitors. However, watching one amazing New Mexico sunset over the lake will have you coming back year after year.
Nice little lake. We didn't catch anything today but it says: Pike, Trout, Bass and Catfish possible. $1 per person for access. Area is well kept.
