COCHITI LAKE SWIM BEACH REOPENS

Published June 6, 2014

COCHITI LAKE, N.M., -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Albuquerque District, announces that the swim beach at Cochiti Lake will re-open Saturday, June 7, 2014, after being closed for construction purposes.

The construction was to repair and improve day-use shelters and other infrastructure damaged in last year’s September flood event.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff urges visitors at Cochiti Lake to always wear a life jacket when near the water as it can save your life!

Cochiti Lake offers camping, hiking, picnicking, fishing, boating and other outdoor recreation at two public recreation areas: the Cochiti Recreation Area on the west side of the lake and the Tetilla Peak Recreation Area on the east side. Each recreation area has a boat ramp for launching vessels. A visitor center is open to the public near the park headquarters. Scenic overlooks are on both sides of the lake.
