Elephant Butte Lake in New Mexico is hitting rock bottom—water levels are plummeting, exposing dangerous shorelines and forcing boat ramp adjustments. This isn’t just nature’s mood swing; it’s climate change and drought hitting the Southwest hard. Water releases will continue until July 28th, so plan your trip wisely. Officials are warning boaters to watch for debris and navigate shallow, unfamiliar waters with extreme caution. The park’s still open, but crews are working nonstop with federal partners to clear hazards, secure facilities, and stay ready for when the water returns. Stay informed via the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department website—safety first, folks.
