Leasburg Dam State Park
A quiet desert oasis, this state park provides peace and relaxation, beautiful cactus gardens, several short trails and opportunities for fishing and canoeing in the Rio Grande. Leasburg Dam, constructed in 1908, the dam channels water from the Rio Grande for irrigation in the Mesilla Valley. Nearby Fort Selden State Monument has a museum and trails at the site of a 19th century army outpost. Special events at the park include "Sky Safaris" held a few times a year; local astronomers also lead star gazing sessions. There are petroglyph tours to area archeological sites are held each October.
