Navajo Lake State Park - Navajo Lake Marina

Located at Navajo Dam in San Juan County, New Mexico, Navajo Lake Marina provides convenient access to Navajo Lake and the San Juan River via the Pine Recreation Area boat ramp. The facility features one concrete ramp with six launching lanes, a 10' x 60' courtesy dock with Trex decking at Sims Mesa, and handicap-accessible ramps throughout the park. The ramp operates seasonally from March 1 to November 30, with varying hours. Gas, ice, and supplies are available on-site.

Navajo Lake is a versatile destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters alike. The lake holds rainbow and brown trout, Kokanee salmon, northern pike, crappie, and bass, making it popular with anglers. The San Juan River section is renowned as a world-class fly-fishing destination and offers opportunities for paddling and exploration. Water elevation varies significantly (from 5,997 to 6,101 feet), so check current conditions before launching, especially during seasonal transitions.

The area serves as a gateway to outdoor recreation including nearby Simon Canyon Area of Critical Environmental Concern and historic Defensive Sites of Dinetah. Day-use areas, campgrounds, and riverside trails provide additional amenities for extended visits.
