Directions: Abiquiu Lake is located in northern New Mexico, 61 miles north of Santa Fe on Highway 84 at the intersection of Highway 96. From Espanola, 30 miles west on US 84, 2 miles south on NM 96.

Two paved boat ramps are on the north side. Popular water sports include waterskiing (June-August) near the dam and at the north end, jetskiing near the boat ramp, and pontoon boat cruising. Principal lake recreation is swimming (July-August).
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
