Leasburg Dam State Park, State park on Rio Grande in Doña Ana County, United States.
Leasburg Dam State Park is a natural area near the Rio Grande with desert vegetation and walking trails throughout the grounds. The park provides access to water and different zones designed for various outdoor activities.
The Leasburg Dam was built in 1908 to redirect water from the river into irrigation canals. This structure helped farmers in the region water their fields more effectively.
The park sits in an area that mattered to early travelers crossing the desert landscape. Nearby historical locations show how people lived and used this land over time.
The park has camping spots with electrical hookups for RVs, picnic areas, and restrooms throughout the grounds. Fishing and light boating are allowed in designated sections.
The park has an observatory where visitors can observe the night sky during special programs. These sessions offer chances to see stars and constellations from this lesser-known desert location.
