Elephant Butte and Caballo Lakes
EB is the largest lake in New Mexico at over 40,000 surface acres. At 26 miles long and up to 5 miles wide, this lake has the size to remain the state's number one destination for boating, swimming, camping and fishing. Plus, it's only a five mile drive from Riverbend. Caballo is the third largest lake in NM. It is a mere five miles south of us and is a more peaceful alternative for fishing and camping than EB Lake. Find out what activities you can do while visiting.
