About this park
Fenton Lake State Park is a mellow year-round mountain escape in the Jemez Mountains at about 7,650 feet, surrounded by ponderosa pine forest. The Rio Cebolla flows through the park and the lake is open for fishing and canoeing. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout from fall through spring and also holds German brown trout, making it a good spot for fly fishing, including ice fishing in winter. Campers, hikers and cross-country skiers use the park, and it has a playground.
