Well-known for our boating, camping, golfing, birding and hiking opportunities, the area offers unlimited possibilities for enjoying the outdoors. Enjoy the four seasons, marvel at the desert landscape, travel by horseback, the seat of a motorcycle, at the wheel of your RV or boat or even your plane.
Caballo Lake has a surface area of more than 11,500 acres, making it New Mexico's third largest state park. Surrounded by the rugged Caballo Mountains, this lake provides ample opportunities for fishing and various water sports.

The opening of the $200M brand new commercial aerospace facility; Spaceport America located 20 miles from Truth or Consequences, NM promises to be one of the biggest economic events in the entire state. Sir Richard Branson has chosen Spaceport America as the World Headquarters for Virgin Galactic and is beginning operations early next year. Spaceport America is the only "purpose built" commercial facility in the world and is exactly the type of facility that will meet the needs of aerospace entrepreneurs who are being supported by President Obama's recent re-allocation of NASA funding to private enterprise. With vertical and horizontal launch capability, easy access to airspace, ideal low humidity climate and very low population density, Spaceport America offers an attractive opportunity for any major aerospace firm who may need large secure infrastructure needs.
