Dry Lake is right by the La Manga Stock Driveway, and do explore Chino Dry Lake, it's a beautiful lake. If you want a good time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Dry Lake. San Antonio River is a tremendous whitewater spot next to Dry Lake; some of the water close by flows, like Lagunitas Creek.

typically sink into the 0's. That right there is a heap of cool stuff already but it goes on, the San Juan and Jemez Mountains has it all. If you came to camp Upper Lagunitas Campground is a good site to do that; the beauty of mother
nature reveals herself at El Camino Spring. A nice place for whitewater paddling near Dry Lake is Rio de los Pinos, and if you're here, you could also stop at gorgeous Laguna Larga.

Rio Brazos
| 12 miles away
This stretch is not do-able to the average boater. It is anything but. The given put-in and take-out coordinates put you through at least one mandatory portage on private property with a less-than-content owner. It's a two day trip, so there is at least one night of camping on private property. The run can only be done when the spring run-off is exactly right, and the V+ rating is not joking. This run is just not done. Go ahead and prove me wrong at your own risk....Note the 40' high waterfall about a mile in from the box downstream entrance. i have fished this many times,and think you would be crazy to run it, not to mention its all on private property.... |
Spruce Hole Trail
 | 13 miles away
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
 | 15 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.... |
