Six Mile Dam
Eddy County, New Mexico
Overview
Now a renowned birding and fishing area, Six Mile Dam serves as an example of the power of cooperation and persistence. Once known as a party spot and a place to dump trash, these lands are now used for hiking, kayaking, fishing, picnicking, and birding after years of effort by the BLM Carlsbad Field Office, the City of Carlsbad, non-profits, industry partners, and public volunteers to provide improvements to the area. Six Mile Dam is considered one of the best marsh areas remaining in the Pecos Valley and more than 300 species of birds have been spotted in the area.
