Paddling near Farmington, NM

Set in San Juan County at the confluence of the San Juan, Animas, and La Plata rivers, Farmington carries the Navajo name 'Totah' — 'Among the Waters.' The Animas and San Juan together move nearly 40% of New Mexico's surface water. Paddlers find urban whitewater at Berg Park, the new Gatewave surf wave, year-round tailwater on the San Juan below Navajo Dam, and the 15,000-acre flatwater of Navajo Lake.
