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 15,590 surface-acre lake is part of New Mexico’s second-largest state park, offering excellent year-round boating, fishing and camping in three recreation areas. The San Juan River area below the dam is recognized worldwide for its trophy trout fishing.
Be sure to check the following points of interest while you are there.
* Pine Visitor’s Center. Provides the visitor a great view of the lake, information on the park and interpretive exhibits.
* Texas Hole on the San Juan River. The Texas Hole day use area is one of the most famous starting points for fishermen that come to fish the world renowned San Juan River.
* The North San Juan River Trail. The trail wanders along the north side of the San Juan River and provides a great opportunity to see wildlife and is in close proximity to Native American ruins and petroglyphs located on BLM lands.
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.
