Lush isn’t the first adjective that people use to describe New Mexico. However, despite our state’s arid reputation, there’s a surprising amount of greenery throughout the Land of Enchantment. When the creek waters are gushing, this one oasis in Silver City makes you think you’ve been transported to a fantasyland. Possibly even to Middle Earth!
The park isn’t big; the walkways run for only a few blocks. However, it’s part of a planned green corridor that will eventually stretch for 10 miles. Until then, you can enjoy this magical, if elf-sized, spot!
Big Ditch Riverwalk Park is located at 104 E. Market Street in Silver City.
