Cimarron Canyon State Park, State park in Eagle Nest, United States.
The park extends through 8 miles of canyon along the Cimarron River, featuring dramatic cliffs and three developed day-use areas at 7,500 feet elevation.
The New Mexico State Parks Division established Cimarron Canyon State Park in 1979, designating 378 acres of protected wilderness within the Colin Neblett Wildlife Area.
The annual Mother's Day weekend fishing derby brings families together for a traditional event centered around trout fishing in the Cimarron River.
Three campgrounds - Maverick, Tolby, and Ponderosa - provide individual sites with bathrooms and water access, requiring a $10 nightly fee per vehicle.
The Cimarron River maintains a trout population density of 3,000 fish per mile, making it a primary destination for anglers in New Mexico.
