Nature
Oasis State Park in eastern New Mexico, north of Portales, is distinguished by the contrast between its fishing lake and the surrounding sand dunes. In a region better known for open plains, it stands out as a small recreational oasis shaped by water and wind. The unusual pairing of lake and dune scenery gives the park a character rare in the area. It remains a place for outdoor recreation, especially fishing, while the dunes create the landscape that gives the park its name.
