Old Fort and The Kid Sumner Lake is base camp for exploring 19th-century history.

Also nearby is the gravesite of notorious outlaw Billy the Kid.
Sumner Lake, which is along the Pecos River Flyway, is a great place for bird watching. Winter migrants visit the lake, while summer breeding residents appreciate the canyon below the dam. Getting
