Marina del Sur is located at the main entrance to Elephant Butte State Park and offers boat rentals, slip rentals, dockside facilities, and a convenience store. Located in the lower Rio Grande Valley of south central New Mexico, Elephant Butte Lake State Park is the largest and most popular state park. Commonly referred to as "The Butte," the lake plays host to various exciting activities all year round.
On a warm summer weekend, just about every form of water-based fun can be seen. Lake-goers come from all over for swimming, sailing, fishing, tubing, water-skiing, and, of course, soaking up rays while relaxing on the sandy beaches.
