| Navajo Lake State Park |
|
Navajo Lake State park is located around 35 miles North East of Bloomfield. It was formed after the construction of the Navajo Dam and is the second largest lake in New Mexico. Located on the San Juan River, the earth- and rock-filled dam is nearly 3/4 a mile long and 400 ft high. Construction was begun in 1958 and completed in 1962. The lake provides plenty of boating and other lake recreations such as fishing and sailing. Fish stocked at the lake include brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout, largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, and kokanee salmon.
