New Mexico State Park officials are taking measures as water levels at Elephant Butte Lake continue to drop. The conditions of the lake have been caused by long-term natural cycles intensified by regional drought and climate change.
Safety Measures
Officials say that the public can follow safety measures when visiting the park, including being aware of unstable or soft shoreline zones, keeping an eye out for newly exposed debris or hazards, and operating vessels with extreme caution.
The park remains open to the public, and New Mexico State Parks will continue monitoring conditions, removing debris, assessing hazards, and maintaining facilities until water levels rise sufficiently to support normal operations.
