A lovely state park with plenty of hiking. Great for birdwatching and birdlife. We spent several hours exploring and it was well worth the visit.

I visited this state park last year while on vacation in New Mexico. The park was nice - I enjoyed walking around in the dessert. It was winter time when I went, so there weren't any plants blooming or anything. But, it was still relaxing...Read More

We hadn't been here before. Park attendant was very helpful. Limited services. Visitors center closed and some trails due to Covid. Also NM residents only. For now. Good place for bird watching and views. Peaceful

Nice trails. The highlight of this park was the ranger who was falling all over himself excited to teach us all about his park and the surrounding area. We all got so much out of our time with him.

Beautiful area and a wonderful escape from the heat as you walk along the river. There are many butterflies and other animals and plants to see that aren't so prevalent in the rest of the area.

Awesome and excellent vistas for pictures. Nice walking trails. Was expecting to see the Rio Grande but surprised to see it isn't usually a river apparently since the 1920s

Fantastic place for a walk about and to watch hummingbirds at the feeders. During summer there are a lot of midges/no-see-ems/gnats so bring repellent!

Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park is a lovely spot for a walk. Several easy trails for some reflection and bird watching. The visitor’s center is delightful and informative, as is the knowledgeable ranger.

Nice quiet walk along the sandy Rio Grand. We had great conversation with the volunteer in the visitor center. I only recently learned about this park. I wish I had known sooner.

Beautiful, serene. This was our take our spot after kayaking down from near Leesburg dam. We got to see a lot of wildlife. Ducks, cranes, and several other birds.
