    In New Mexico there are many beautiful lakes, Rinker Lake is one of them. Rinker Lake is a beautiful lake in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. A pleasant spree to Sullivan Park is a good way to spend an afternoon, and don't leave Rinker Lake without first paying a visit to Yolanda Spring. Just can't get enough of the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. If you came to camp El Ritito Campground is a brilliant site to do that, and as expected, this is a brilliant vicinity  
   for folks who like lakes, Ensenada Lake is a lake nearby.

Rio Brazos
17 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....

Bandelier National Monument
44 miles away
It's not in the San Juan Mountains....
