Welcome

Heron Lake

Heron Lake is a picturesque lake set among tall pines and is designated a "Quiet Lake" where boats operate at no-wake speeds only. Heron is known for its excellent Lake Trout fishing cross-country skiing, hiking, and is the home of the New Mexico Sailing Club. Access the hiking and fishing trail along the gorgeous Rio Chama from the dramatic caprock stairway near Heron Dam.
A great diversity of wildlife found in the area includes deer, elk, foxes, bald eagle, red-tail hawks, water ouzels, and ospreys.
