Ute Lake State Park
is three miles west of Logan via NM 540.
Known for its little
coves and inlets, Ute Lake is among the state's longest lakes,
almost 13 miles long and cover 8,200 acres, but it is also narrow,
only one mile across at its widest point. A popular family camping
destination, this boating and fishing park also has good swimming, and
wildlife.
The deep-blue lake attracts a variety of boaters, and
especially during summer, you are apt to see a mix of fishing boats,
ski boats, personal watercraft, and sailboats. Windsurfing is
particularly popular in spring. A concessionaire-operated marina rents
small fishing boats and pedal-boats and sells fishing and boating
supplies.
Anglers are here
year-round, although the best fishing is in the spring and fall. The
lake is known for excellent walleye fishing, and anglers have caught
record-breaking small-mouth bass, plus crappie, bluegill and channel
catfish.
The park has
practically unlimited camping, with facilities that range from RV
sites with hookups to isolated developed sites without hookups to
primitive camping. Showers and RV hookups are located in both the
North Area and Logan Park. Visitors looking for wildlife will see
migratory birds, including ducks and geese, from late fall through
early spring.
The park's
facilities include: visitor center, group shelter, developed sites
(142), electric sites (77), RV dump station, restrooms, showers, and
marina.
