Getting Outdoors
Though less popular than its larger sister, Elephant Butte Lake, due to fewer amenities and smaller size, Caballo Lake State Park is no less scenic. The distant buttes and mountain range rise from the desert plains, carved by millions of years of scouring wind. Yarrow, sage, and witch broom bushes pepper the slopes, adding a hint of color to the landscape. After rainstorms pass, which tends to be fast and fiery, these hills virtually transform with a dazzling array of tiny fluorescent blooms. The warm waters of Caballo Lake are a perpetual soft leathery tan hue, tinted by the sediment at the bottom of the shallow lake.
