Elephant Butte Lake Reveals Hidden Debris | Santa Fe News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Elephant Butte Lake in New Mexico’s water levels are plummeting, revealing hidden debris and forcing state parks to scramble for cleanup—thanks to Bureau of Reclamation releases to meet Rio Grande agreements, compounded by drought and climate change. Water releases will continue until July 28, so expect more surprises. The park remains open but warns visitors to tread carefully: watch for soft ground, debris, and slow down while boating, especially in unfamiliar spots. Algae blooms are also a concern near Lions Beach. Nature’s got its own rhythm—and it’s throwing curveballs.
