Leasburg Dam State Park

Leasburg Dam State Park

Leasburg Dam State Park is located on the Rio Grande in Doña Ana County, in southern New Mexico in the southwestern United States. It provides opportunities for camping, hiking, picnicking, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Nearby is the historic Fort Seldon State Monument, and 15 miles to the south is the city of Las Cruces.

The dam at Leasburg was completed in 1908. Its purpose is not to hold back the flow of the river, but instead to divert it into a system of canals for use by nearby farms.
