About Elephant Butte Lake
New Mexico’s largest body of water, Elephant Butte Lake, is a fisherman’s paradise known for record-breaking black, white, and striped bass, as well as crappie and bluegill.
Elephant Butte Lake State Park encompasses 40,000 acres and has a Visitor Center and camp sites.
The lake offers miles of trails, sandy beaches, and magnificent views along its 43-mile length, and 2 marinas to serve boaters:
• Dam Site Marina
• Marina del Sur
• Rock Canyon Marina
The Damsite Recreation Area, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the 1930s, has been designated a Historic District. The site retains the flavor of the lake’s historic past and includes cabins, an RV park, rock-lined paths, and the charming (but currently under construction) Dam Site Lodge, housed in the old Administration Building dating from 1911 / the dam-building days.
Wireless internet is available throughout the park (below Monticello point).
