Conchas Lake

Behind Conchan Dam on the Canadian River, in northeastern New Mexico, is the 25-mile-long reservoir known as Conchas Lake. The lake is 9,600 acres in size and is located at an elevation of 4,200 feet.

Conchas Lake State Park, which is split into north and south halves, is located close to the lake. Nine public boat ramps are available at the state park, with five in the north and four in the south. Walleye, largemouth bass, white bass, shad, flathead catfish, channel catfish, bluegill, and crappie can all be found in the lake. Between Hooverville and the town of Conchas is where the south region is situated. The lake is accessible to travelers via New Mexico State Road 104 at milepost 75, which is located 121 km southeast of Las Vegas and 47 km northwest of Tucumcari.

The lake beachfront is a fantastic location for hiking and bird-watching. Although it also allows boating and swimming, the lake is renowned for its excellent fishing. There are lots of campsites in Conchas Lake State Park for those who want to spend the night and watch the sunset. Additionally, there are places to go boat camping along the lake.
