Piedra Trail continues from Windsurf Beach primitive campground along the Piedra arm of the lake, and then climbs to views above the river itself. It is the first segment of a trail that will eventually reach all the way to Arboles Point primitive campground at the confluence of the San Juan and Piedra Rivers.

This 15,000 surface-acre reservoir extends for 35 miles south into New Mexico. Visitors can fish for record-size northern pike or catfish in open waters without crowds. Gather family and friends and enjoy Navajo Lake from the comfort of a houseboat. Explore three major rivers and sail or water-ski on open waters.

Take advantage of the opportunity to see wildlife such as foxes, deer, grouse and turkeys in the midst of one of Colorado's most historic and scenic areas. See interesting artifacts of the Anasazi Indians at the Visitor Center in a setting rich in local history.
