Navajo Lake in New Mexico offers a range of boating options for visitors. The lake spans over 15,000 acres and has three marinas: Pine River Marina on the east side; Sims Mesa Marina on the west side; and Two Rivers Marina at its southern end. These facilities provide boat rentals including houseboats, pontoon boats as well as fishing boats.
The park also features numerous launch ramps for private vessels with two located near each marina while others are scattered around different parts of the lake shore. Both motorized watercrafts like speedboats or jet skis and non-motorized crafts such as canoes or kayaks are permitted under certain safety regulations.
Anglers can enjoy fishing in a large reservoir, home to various species like rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. Other fish include brown trout, northern pike, smallmouth bass and channel catfish. Boat rentals are available for deep water excursions or shoreline casting is an option too.
