Navajo Dam Reservoir

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 1957 and completed in 1963. 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. 22 miles east of Aztec.
