05. Abiquiu Dam to confluence with Rio Grande

During the Fall/Winter of 2019/2020 the Army Corp. of Engineers and the New Mexico Fish and Wildlife office, completed a river enhancement of fish habitat/ fish ladder, by doing so they have created a play feature in that constriction. As we have tested flows the rapid is quickly becoming a great park and play feature. See the image gallery for pictures and flow rate. A big THANK YOU to NMFG and The Army Corp, along a huge THANK YOU to Ed Lucero who have the vision and the contacts to see this implemented. 7.5 miles of class I/II meandering river is available below with several low-head dams. The take-out is just above or below the crossing with NM 84. For information, see New Mexico Whitewater, by NM State Parks & Rivers of SW, by
