This cache is part of a series of caches placed by New Mexico Geocachers in a cooperative effort with New Mexico State Parks (NMSP) to celebrate New Mexico State Parks 75th Anniversary. A cache has been placed in each of the 34 state parks around New Mexico.
This 2,400 surface-acre lake offers some of the best trout and kokanee salmon fishing in the state. Seasonal recreation includes boating, hiking, picnicking and cross-country skiing, with opportunities to see an abundance of birds and other wildlife, including elk, deer, bears and eagles.
Be sure to check the following points of interest while you are there.
* The Moreno Day-Use Area allows views of the Moreno Valley, the travel corridor to the south was the Taos Spur of the Santa Fe Trail.
* The Six-Mile Day-Use Area provides for a great view of Wheeler Peak, the highest point in the State.
* Trails on the north side of the lake allow for wildlife and waterfowl viewing.
Since this cache is located within the State Park system, a Day Use or Annual Pass, which can be obtained from any State Park, will be required.
If you see any of the Park's staff while you are there, be sure to let them know you are a Geocacher.
