Cochiti Lake
Just 50 miles north of Albuquerque and west of I-25 at the Santo Domingo and Peña Blanca exits, this no-wake lake has a paved boat ramp and campground with showers on each side. It has a slip-rental marina with no services. The top water activities at the lake are sailing, wind surfing, and swimming.
Close by Cochiti Lake lies the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, featuring cone-shaped tent rock formations created by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The monument boasts many scenic hiking trails and great opportunities for bird watching.
