     Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this location. Why not camp at Alamosa Campground since you're here at Big Lake, and hiking along the Hot Creek Stock Driveway is pleasant fun. Going for a hike along the North Fork Dry Creek Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood, and Devils Hole is a delightful place any time of year. If you need a place to stay Best Western Movie Manor is a tremendous choice, and do take a hike on the Alamosa River  
   Trail.
So much amusing stuff to do here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, too good to be true. If you came for an overnight stay Comstock Campground is a nice spot to camp, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Conejos River. All year is a pleasant time in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains if you like the outdoors. Lakes are wonderful; Little Brown Lake is a lake that's next to Big Lake, and some nearby water
 
               includes French Creek. This lake is so wonderful.
Big Lake is located in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. This lake is so wonderful. A great nearby hotel is Budget Host Monte Villa Inn Monte Vista; of course, this is a tremendous neighborhood for people who like lakes, Spencer Lake is a lake in the vicinity. All the water falling down from the sky makes Big Lake a wet place; March is the wettest month with most snow, and June is the month with the least moisture.
Throughout the summertime, highs frequently are in the 60's at Big Lake while night lows are regularly in the 40's. The winter comes with highs in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Big Lake are in the 0's.

Bear Lake Trail
Bear Lake was surely a disappointment! I'd heard it had good fishing, but after puffing up a long, steep, and confusing trail (we lost our way more than once, delaying our arrival about an hour) we found the lake nearly dry; muddy, and infested with mosquitoes! Next time I'll save myself the bother and fish the Conejos. ...

Spruce Hole Trail

While I have not had the pleasure of hiking any of its trails yet, I look forward to camping in this area. I ''scouted'' the dirt road into the Spruce Hole exit off of the main road. It is very lovely through this piece of wilderness. Lots of healthy pines, wildflowers, and plenty of wildlife too. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but if you're thinking about camping or hiking here... I highly suggest that you do!...

Trujillo Meadows Campground
18 miles away
In the 16 years that I have lived in the area, there has never been white water ( for rafting, canoeing, kayaking etc. I presume) in the Brazos. I think you are referring to the Chama River which starts in the Colorado San Juans and flows through New Mexico into the Rio Grande in Espanola ,NM. Plenty of white water there in the spring time....You seem to have missed letting people know about the great trout fishing at Trujillo Meadows. I have never been there that I haven't hooked a big one....
