Hiking
The West Lakeshore Trail stretches 12-miles along the western shore of Elephant Butte Lake. This long trail is somewhat piecemeal; it is comprised of different sections of trail, dirt road, and paved road. It is easy to get sucked into side adventures in the scenic desert landscape. You can take the West Lakeshore Trail as far as you want, enjoying the views of the water and surrounding area.
