Elephant Butte Lake stands out like a jewel in the pristine desert of southern New Mexico. Rated one of the top premiere striped bass lakes in the US & the #1 game lake the state has to offer... located in Sierra County, a wonderfully diverse resort area with much to offer. Just 3 miles from EBL is Truth or Consequences. A small resort city named for the famed television & radio show. TorC is renowned for its healing hot mineral baths. The same therapeutic mineral water that Geronimo bathed in to heal his wounds after battle. Its quaint little stores offer a unique shopping experience. There are two area golf courses within 10 miles of each other. The area cuisine ranges from fine dining to the #1 steak house in the state. Not to mention awesome mexican food made with famed southwestern New Mexico green & red chile. Just 15 minutes south of TorC is Caballo Lake & Percha State Park, a smaller game lake. The area is also rich in Mining Ghost Towns, a favorite with the history buffs...and that is just the tip of the tumbleweed! Come see for yourself, you'll be glad that you did!

You might be surprised to know that Sierra County is home to Spaceport America, the World's first Commercial Spaceport!  Where Sir Richard Branson is currently developing his Virgin Galactic headquarters,

         just 21 miles east of Elephant Butte, New Mexico.
