Bottomless Lakes State Park

Bottomless Lakes State Park is your place for bottomless fun! Just 15 miles southeast of Roswell, the park is a chain of eight lakes that are actually sinkholes ranging from 17 to 90 feet deep. Enjoy a picnic, non-motorized boating, fishing, swimming or even scuba diving. The park hosts a campground with a bathhouse and amenities for your camper or tent. You’ll find fun recreation areas, covered picnic shelters and hiking trails. During the summer, rent a paddleboard or pedal boat from the park!

Notice: Fishing is NOT permitted at Lea Lake or the Lea Lake Day Use Area; fishing is only allowed at Devil’s Ink Well and Pasture Lake (only stocked between March and November) within Bottomless Lakes State Park.  ALL NM Game and Fish rules and laws apply.
