Outdoor Sports & Recreation in New Mexico

New Mexico is justly famous for the scope and breadth of the state's outdoor recreational opportunities. With numerous National Forests, National Wilderness Areas and millions of acres of BLM land, it would take lifetimes simply to explore it all.

On the pages linked below we share how to access and enjoy some of the natural and man-made wonders of New Mexico. We also share some of the governmental regulations involved in certain areas of endeavor, mainly on the fishing and hunting pages. The biking and hiking pages contain lists and descriptions of particular trails. The watersports pages primarily contain descriptions of lakes and boating areas. The whitewater rafting pages list connections to companies that offer guided trips down many of the gorgeous rivers in New Mexico. Also included are links to most of the ski areas in the state.
