    Go to Santa Cruz Lake if you want to go to a nice lake. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Sierra Mosca Trail, and if you came to camp Overlook Campground is a good location to do that. And if that's not sufficient, there's a load more to do in the neighborhood of Santa Cruz Lake. La Caja is a fine place to have a look at close to Santa Cruz Lake, and a delightful close by hotel is Hilton Santa Fe Golf Resort & Spa at Buffalo Thunder. Santa Cruz Lake  
   is right by the Medio Dia Trail. There's so much to do here at Santa Cruz Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Northlake Campground is a perfect place for that.
This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Rio Frijoles Trail is glorious fun, and get your heart pumping on the pleasant whitewater of Rio Embudo. Around Santa Cruz Lake you don’t get a lot of precipitation; the month with most of the rain is August while February is the month with the
 
               least amount of precipitation. Rio Frijoles is close to Santa Cruz Lake and is always a bliss to explore.
This lake is so wonderful. There's always Santa Cruz Reservoir Dam to pop by near Santa Cruz Lake, and Santa Fe National Historic Trail is a splendid site close by. The snow is magnificent at Ski Santa Fe; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Rio Santa Cruz. After a long day outdoors Espanola-Days Inn is a tremendous site to spend a night or two, and at Santa Cruz Lake you always meet someone from Santa Fe.
