The 164 acres of Mexican Hay Lake are at 8,800 feet elevation. Mexican Hay is a small, weedy lake but has been known to yield some 15-inchers on occasion. A small boat, a tube, or waders are almost a necessity, since the shoreline is very brushy.
Mexican Hay Lake is a shallow, high elevation lake. A large meadow borders it on one side and an aspen and conifer forest on the other. The tall reeds that give the lake its name make it a magnet for waterfowl. Ducks and Canada geese can be seen through most of the year and bald eagles winter there.
During years of drought, the lake may dry up completely.
