     Duck Lake is a beautiful lake in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Spectacle Lake Campground is a good campground nearby, and Rio de los Pinos is a magnificent whitewater spot nearby. Don't try to stop me, cause I'm havin' a magnificent time here at Duck Lake. Branding Iron Motel is a great place to get some rest, and if the weather is magnificent, you can go for a hike along the Notch Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Narrow Gauge RR
 
   Inn is a great place to spend a night or two. Now, you may assume that's a load but there's even more exciting things to do here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. South Elk Creek is a charming stream that is worth checking out, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always visit close by Rock Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at Trujillo Meadows Campground, and you can run the rapids of Conejos River.
