7. Navajo Lake State Park
Located on the San Juan River, the earth- and rock-filled dam is nearly 3/4 a mile long and 400 ft high. Construction was begun in 1958 and completed in 1962. The lake provides plenty of boating and other lake recreations such as fishing and sailing. Fish stocked at the lake include brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout, largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, and kokanee salmon. Navajo Dam is located approx. 24 miles east of Aztec.
