Eagle Nest Lake State Park

Eagle Nest Lake State Park occupies a high alpine setting on the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway in New Mexico's Moreno Valley, at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Established in 2004, the park frames views of Wheeler Peak and the surrounding mountains across the lake's surface. For gatherings and celebrations, the park offers a group picnic shelter, a dedicated meeting room, and facilities suited for weddings. The surrounding environment — water access for boating and fishing, 7.78 miles of trails for hiking and biking, and year-round opportunities for birding, kayaking, and winter recreation — gives events here a distinctive outdoor character at high altitude.
