Rio Grande Nature Center State Park

The Rio Grande Nature Center State Park, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a great place to go if you want some peace and quiet in nature. This state park located on the central flyway can offer visitors up-close views of 250 species of different birds, including roadrunners or wood ducks. A trail system along with demonstration gardens add value to this valuable public resource, while indoor/outdoor wildlife viewing areas allow people easy access all year long.

Rio Grande Nature Center State Park is a great place to take the family for some outdoor fun. Visitors can explore two miles of nature trails that wind through tall cottonwoods and past willow thickets, with open sand flats alongside the river where you might spot Sandhill cranes in winter or porcupines during other seasons. In summer, it’s not uncommon either see lizards skittering across these paths.
