Recreational Opportunities in Zuni

Zuni Reservation has numerous areas for outdoor recreation where visitors can picnic, fish, and enjoy the scenic red sandstone bluffs, mesas, and nature. Numerous opportunities exist for explorations of deep canyons, tall mesas, open rangeland, and thick pine forests. Fishing is possible at several area lakes, such as Eustace, Ojo Caliente, Nutria, and Pescado.

Fishing does vary from season to season since lakes depend on winter runoff with the exception of Ojo Calient Lake

Remember to purchase your permits at many local and regional businesses.

Zuni also offers small and big game hunting with proper permits. In recent years, potential record setting elk and deer have been taken. With elevations ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 feet and a habitat consisting mostly of pinion- juniper and lush meadows, hunting can be a rewarding experience.

Further information is available in the Zuni Hunting and Fishing Proclamation which you will find in the information booth. All hunting and fishing inquiries should be directed to the Pueblo of Zuni Fish and Wildlife office at (505) 782-5851.
