Folsom Falls, Waterfall in New Mexico, United States
Folsom Falls is a waterfall in New Mexico that drops over basalt rock formations within the Raton-Clayton Volcanic Field. The water cascades along the Dry Cimarron River system and creates a natural feature in the landscape.
This site was once a public roadside park managed by the New Mexico State Game and Fish Department. It later passed to private ownership and has remained closed to the public since that transition.
The waterfall stands as a representation of New Mexico's diverse landscape, connecting to the geological heritage of the Raton-Clayton region.
The site is marked with private property signs and is not accessible to visitors. The location sits on private land with strict access restrictions.
Water flows over young basalt lava formations that reveal the area's volcanic past through exposed geological layers. The erosion patterns show how running water has shaped stone over thousands of years.
