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. Monarch Butterfly Go Wild! Observatories at State Parks State Parks has three astronomical observatories in the system, which allow visitors to learn from experts and see night sky objects.
