Pecos River

During our week's stay here in the Carlsbad, NM area, we have explored several of the activities offered.  We hiked the Guadalupe Mountains, and visited Sitting Bull Falls.  (On a previous visit we experienced the famous Carlsbad Caverns National Park.)  We admired the downtown Lake Carlsbad (formed by damming the Pecos River) Beach Park. 

The area along and on the water is open to many different activities.  Below the dam fishing is popular. 


On the opposite side of the street are very nice tennis courts


and pickleball courts.  Duane has been playing with the local group here.



Above the dam is the Beach Park with swimming 


and picnic areas,

and the adjacent water park.



Further upstream a boat ramp allows speed boaters, jet skiers, tubers and water skiers can enjoy the water.

We drove by but didn't visit The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens.

Moving day tomorrow.

Louise and Duane
