Spending time by the water is one of the most relaxing things you can do. At least that’s what I think. Ocean, lake, stream, or river, as long as I’m by the water I can practically feel my blood pressure drop. And the less people, the better. If you need some time by the water, one little-known lake in New Mexico you may want to check out is located in the Wilderness Ranger District.

Lovely and pristine, Lake Roberts is a peaceful body of water anyone would want to spend time at. It's found either by taking NM-35 or NM-15.
