Was here before COVID, here right now, this place has ha no work or upkeep since then. In fact we were here on the day we were kicked out for COVID on Friday mar 13. We were talking about what a good job they had done during the previous winter, especially with controlling the goat heads, if you have a dog , you know what I am talking about. Bath rooms still not open, excuse in all parks is that they can’t find anyone to clean them daily. COVID is the excuse for that. Probably a good one,
Used to be a nice place, don’t think I’ll be back.

I love this state park! We live in Las Cruces and come up here often. We have an RV camper trailer and the sites are very well maintained! Some sites have a grill and some sites have a pit. All have water and electricity on the upper level. So there is tent camping as well closer to the river. The bird watching here is amazing. Bullocks orioles, vermillion flycatchers, western tanagers, red winged blackbirds, green herons, sandhill cranes and great blue herons just to name a few. There is excellent fishing for trout and walleye pike at the nearby lakes and you can fish on the river also. There are places to hike and ride your bikes in the area as well. The only drawback would be that fires are not allowed right now, but propane grills and fire pits are allowed.

Percha Dam State Park is a small park mostly devoted to camping. We heard it recommended for bird sightings, and stopped by. The campground was mostly uninteresting, although we did spot a Black Phoebe near the dam. The trail through the adjoining woods, accessible by crossing the metal footbridge, is must better. Hepatic Tanager, Lesser Goldfinch, and much more was seen easily over the course of an hour or so. It seems to be the best birding spot among the state parks in the Truth or Consequences area - we visited several.

Camping area is good for small rev's, but only one trail open. The water is very low for any kind of water sports.

Nice little state park next to the Rio Grande. Nice views of the river and the surroundings.
Nice place for a picnic. Not many trails for walking.

My husband and I went Perch Dam state park on a Tuesday morning. The park is about 2 miles off I-25. A gravel road started at the park entrance. The visitor’s center was close so we paid the park fee at the self-pay station. The picnic area is along the Rio Grande River and the Dam is on the west end of the picnic area. We had a picnic lunch close to the dam. The one room outhouse restroom (for men & women) was stinky and had no toilet paper. The Rio Grande River was flowing very good the last weekend in June. The camping site looked nice but no views of the river.
