Summer is here and with that comes all sorts of adventures! With kids out of school for a couple of months, it's imperative to find things to do as a family. While amusement and water parks are always fun, how about spending a summer's day at a family-friendly park in New Mexico? The Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area is one such park for a day trip with kids.

Spend a hot and sunny summer day with your family at the 125-acre Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area located along the Pecos River! You can find the park at 708 Park Dr. in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

This park offers an array of outdoor activities that include, but are not limited to, boating, swimming, fishing, water-skiing, and even camping.

Picnicking is also a fun thing to do here. Who wouldn't want to dine al fresco with water views?

If you love being at the beach, there's certainly a stretch of sand where you can lay out and soak in the sun's rays. Once you get hot enough, go for a refreshing dip in the lake.

How about spending time on the water? Whether you bring your own watercraft or rent one, perhaps a kayak or a pedal boat, there's nothing more fun than time out on the lake on a summer day!

You can also explore the park on foot if you'd like. The lake is oh-so scenic and there are walkways views of the water throughout. Kids and adults alike love this family-friendly park in New Mexico!
