New Mexico State Parks
Millions of people visit New Mexico State Parks each year. According to EMNRD Cabinet Secretary Jennifer A. Salisbury, about 5 million people visited our state parks in 1998. Some parks estimate as many as 40 percent of visitors live in other states or countries. New Mexico has 31 state parks encompassing the scenic beauty and mystic in America's Land of Enchantment.
