Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park

Spanning around 305 acres of restored wetlands and river woodlands, Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park takes preserving the natural beauty of New Mexico to a whole new level. This one of a kind treasure provides a safe home for animals and a quiet place for people to travel by foot and enjoy the natural beauty of New Mexico.

Wetlands restoration

As a joint habitat restoration project, several organizations have come together to restore the Picacho wetlands back to their natural beauty. Although the project is still underway, visitors can enjoy the improving wetlands throughout the year and watch as the animals and plants are rejuvenated and brought back to life.

River woodlands

Covering most of the land in this state park are river woodlands. The woodland area is a great place to stroll along the water and watch the quiet happenings of the wildlife inhabitants as they go about their day. Since this area is only accessible by foot, visitors can enjoy the spectacle of nature in an untouched way.

Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park is a splendid choice for spending the day for those who place a priority on relaxation and blissful quiet. With so few places left in the nation where nature is undisturbed, visiting this preserved New Mexico park is a great way for people of all ages to see first-hand how nature looked centuries ago. Pack a lunch and plan to spend the day sitting around or strolling alongside nature and all the miracles it has to offer.
