If you are in this part of New Mexico make sure to pay a visit to Turkey Lake. This lake is one of the great places here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Turkey Lake gets very little rain; August is the month that gets the most rain, and May is the month with the least moisture. What a place this is for outdoors folks. There's so much to do here at Turkey Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Hopewell Lake Campground is a great location for that.

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.... |
