State Parks has many star parties throughout the year.
The night sky has enlightened and inspired for
thousands of years, and New Mexico is blessed with
dark, beautiful night skies showcased at our parks.
Camping and RV’ing in parks allows
visitors to experience parks on a local level.
Here are some of the great activities and
programs featured in State Parks.
“The Tweet Life”
Bobcat
City of Rocks State Park - This observatory was the
first in the system. The roll-off roof allows for amazing
viewing, and visitors can see distant galaxies and
Tiger Muskie at Bluewater Lake State Park night sky objects on video monitors or through smaller
scopes. Astronomers provide regular programs.
Catch a Memory!
Fishing is one of the most popular activities at our
NM State Parks. Twenty-four parks have ponds,
streams, rivers or lakes, providing a variety of
fishing experiences.
From a lazy afternoon casting for pan-fish to a
high-energy adventure fishing for 40-inch Tiger
Muskie, NM State Parks have a lot to offer.
In northern New Mexico, trout
is king when it comes to sport
fishing. Rainbow, brown, lake
and cutthroat trout can all be
found in cold water lakes, rivers
and streams. Parks with great
trout fishing are: Navajo Lake,
Bluewater Lake, Cimarron
Canyon, Eagle Nest Lake,
El Vado Lake, Fenton Lake,
Heron Lake, Clayton Lake,
Coyote Creek, Morphy Lake
and Sugarite Canyon State
Parks.

system, which allow visitors to learn from experts and
see night sky objects.
