Brantley Lake State Park
Brantley Lake, Carlsbad, NMBrantley Lake State Park is located approximately 12 miles (19 km) north of Carlsbad, New Mexico. The park takes its name from Brantley Lake, a man-made reservoir created when Brantley Dam was built across the Pecos River in the 1980s. The lake is the southernmost lake in New Mexico, and it is popular for boating and fishing. It has a surface area of approximately 4,000 acres (16 km2), but that varies due to the inconsistent flow of the Pecos River and the arid climate.
The lake is stocked with bass, walleye, catfish, bluegill, and crappie.
Brantley Lake State Park offers hiking, boating, fishing, and water skiing. Plan to stay awhile in one of the primitive or developed campsites, get together with friends or family at one of the group shelters, or take a hike along one of the park’s nature trails. The park has 51 developed campsites with electricity, shower facilities, a playground, a visitor center, and other amenities.
