Villanueva State Park
Nestled between high red sandstone bluffs along the Pecos River, near the picturesque Spanish Colonial village of Villanueva, lies Villanueva State Park. Villanueva State Park is a charming riverside park situated in a canyon of red and yellow sandstone cliffs. Towering cottonwoods and a variety of other native trees and shrubs add additional color to the landscape.
The park's adobe-style picnic shelters are designed and grouped to resemble a Spanish hamlet, similar to those that existed in the area in earlier times. A footbridge gives hikers access to trails leading to other sites in the park, including a prehistoric Indian ruin and a cliff-top vantage point.
