Morphy Lake State Park

Morphy Lake State Park encompasses 30 acres of land with a 15-acre lake situated at 8,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

The New Mexico State Parks Division established this recreational area in 1965 to provide outdoor activities for residents and visitors in northern New Mexico.

Local fishing traditions continue at the lake where anglers catch rainbow trout and kokanee salmon throughout different seasons of the year.

Visitors need to bring their own water supply as the park lacks running water facilities and restricts recreational vehicles longer than 18 feet.

The lake transforms into an ice fishing destination during winter months when freezing temperatures create solid surfaces suitable for winter activities.
