This comprehensive guide to the lakes in New Mexico"s mountains, foothills, and deserts covers bodies of water accessible by foot, car, and recreational vehicle. The guide locates each lake, shows its proximity to Albuquerque and a few major cities bordering the state, and acquaints the reader with the area"s facilities and privileges. For each lake, a single descriptive page provides the following: a map and written directions to the lake from Albuquerque; the lake"s surface area and elevation, camping facilities, fish species, emergency numbers, and other details; a chart of activities and facilities available around and on the lake; and special fees, rules, and regulations. Six appendices detail state and federal regulations for camping, fishing, and boating.
