Bottomless Lakes State Park, State park with natural lakes in Roswell, United States
The park contains eight sinkholes and eleven lakes of various sizes, with depths reaching up to 27 meters in the eastern Pecos River valley.
Bottomless Lakes became the first state park of New Mexico in 1933, marking the beginning of state park development in this southwestern region.
The park preserves the Artesian wetlands of Roswell, maintaining geological formations that showcase the natural heritage of New Mexico.
Lea Lake offers the only designated swimming area in the park, complete with a beach and facilities for summer recreational activities.
The lakes maintain a blue-green color due to mineral content and underground springs, creating natural pools in the desert landscape.
