Storrie Lake State Park
Long a popular spot for rainbow trout fishing, Storrie Lake also features boating, swimming, and water-skiing. Facilities include camping/picnicking sites, a boat ramp, a playground, and a visitor information center.
The first European to visit what is now New Mexico was likely Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish explorer who traveled through the region in the early 16th century. However, it was not until the arrival of Juan de Oñate in 1598 that the Spanish established a permanent settlement in the area.
