You'll need more than a day to discover everything Twin Lakes has to offer, you can camp at Blanco River Campground, and do take a hike on the Blanco River Trail. And that's not everything there is to do here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Looking for something near Twin Lakes? Sappington Reservoir is close by, and there are some great whitewater spots on Rio Blanco.
So many fun things in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, just impressive. If you need a place to stay Holiday Inn Express PAGOSA SPRINGS is a splendid choice, of course you could also stop by Spring Creek Lakes if you're here; it's not far at all. This lake is so wonderful. At Little Oso Dam next to Twin Lakes there are some attention-grabbing things to see, and if you come at the right time of year, Navajo River offers some delightful whitewater.
