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 explo- rations of deep
canyons, tall mesas, open rangeland, and thick pine
forests. Fish- ing 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 Oio |
Caliente 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)
