Enjoy a Corps site today!

As the nation's largest federal provider of outdoor and water-based recreation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites you and your family to have a safe and enjoyable visit to one of the Corps' more than 400 lakes and more than 2,400 recreation sites nationwide. During your visit to these sites or the thousands of other federal lands and waters, we encourage you and your loved ones to always wear a properly fitted life jacket when boating or playing on or near the water. We need your help to reduce the number of water-related injuries and deaths. Visitor safety is the Corps' number one priority. We actively promote water and boater safety and education programs.

COCHITI AREA (NM), NM

Description

Cochiti Dam is the 11th largest earth-filled dam in the world. Cochiti Lake derives its name from the Indian Pueblo on whose land the project is located. Cochiti has many opportunities for both wildlife viewing and recreation. Four osprey nesting platforms have recently been erected around the lake to provide nesting sites, as well as viewing opportunities. A favorite water activity at Cochiti Lake is wind surfing. This is a no-wake lake.
