The dramatic geology of the Santa Fe National Forest offers
a wide venue of lake fishing from backcountry headwater
lakes to man-made lakes to kid's fishing ponds. With most
natural lakes in the backcountry of the Pecos Wilderness,
there are typically no facilities. Many lakes historically
were not inhabited with fish but have been stocked over
the last century with non-native cutthroat trout, rainbow
trout, and brook trout (just to name a few).
