Nambé Falls and Nambé Lake Recreation Area, located above the Pueblo is a popular summertime location for camping, fishing, picnics, events and organizational gatherings. A fifteen minute hike along the shaded cottonwood trails takes you to the base of Nambé Waterfalls, three of the most spectacular natural falls in the Southwest. A short climb up the side of the canyon brings you to a birds-eye view of the Falls. Sitting above the falls are the Nambé dam and lake, a 56-acre lake for recreational and sport fishing.
