That right there is a heap of fun stuff already but it goes on, the San Juan and Jemez Mountains has it all. Lakes are such serene sites, why not stop by Lake San Cristobal in close proximity to Thompson
Lake; obviously Henson Creek is a lovely stream that is worth going to. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Lake Fork Gunnison River. Slaughterhouse Gulch is a
delightful place to explore; a perfect view of pretty Neoga Mountain is available.
While you're here at Thompson Lake you can take a hike along the Fall Creek Trail. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Thompson Lake has to offer, you can camp at Slumgullion Pass Campground.
