COCHITI LAKE, N.M. —

The recent rains in New Mexico may have helped with the drought status, but boaters won’t be able to use Cochiti Lake Boat Ramp and Dock for a while. That’s because access to the lake has been temporarily closed until further notice

In addition, the Cochiti Swim Beach, Tetilla Campground and day use area, and portions of the Campground are closed because of the lake’s normal seasonal closure schedule.

According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, water levels at Cochiti Lake have risen more than 15 feet since October 23.

The Cochiti hiking trails, Visitor Center and portions of the Cochiti Campground will remain open. Anyone with questions about available facilities at Cochiti Lake can call the project office at (505) 465-0307.
