Located on the North Side of Frances Canyon above the high water line. There are lots of rocks and boulders. Can be accessed by boat or vehicle.
Navajo Lake is the largest lake in the 4-courners. Construction was started on Navajo Dam in 1958 and completed in 1963. The reservoir has a maximum surface area of 15, 610 acres and extends 35 miles up the San Juan River, 13 miles up the Pine River, and 4 miles up the Piedra River. The water is over 200 feet deep at the dam! This large reservoir is surrounded by beautiful scenery and rugged landscape. To accommodate the maximum water surface area of almost 23 square miles, 5 public boat ramps (due to low water only 3 are currently open) and 3 marinas are located at the reservoir. Available fish species include northern pike, catfish, smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, and Kokanee salmon. The initial 3 1/2 miles below Navajo Dam, of the San Juan River, are considered a nationally renowned, trophy rainbow trout, tailwater fishery with designated "quality waters" and special angler regulations in effect.
Recreation at Navajo Reservoir is managed by the New Mexico State Parks (505)632-2278.
