Prohibits launching and use of motorboats due to low water levels
SANTA FE – Caballo Lake State Park has closed access to the boat ramp and is prohibiting the use of motorized boats due to extremely low water levels.
The lake is still open for canoeing, kayaking, and other non-motorized vessels.
Low water levels are due to required maintenance around the dam and spillway by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The lake will reopen to motorized boating once the Bureau of Reclamation completes its maintenance tasks, lake levels recover, and it is safe for visitors to use motorized boats. The Bureau anticipates this maintenance project to extend beyond the upcoming Labor Day holiday.
