McAllister Lake is an 85-acre lake located in San Miguel County near Las Vegas, New Mexico, offering public boat access via a dedicated launch ramp. The site provides a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore the lake's waters. The ramp is a single-lane facility, so plan accordingly during peak use times and be prepared to wait if other boats are launching or retrieving.
The lake sits within a scenic area of northern New Mexico with nearby recreation opportunities, including Storrie Lake State Park and the Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge, making it part of a broader outdoor recreation corridor. Before visiting, check local conditions and water levels, as New Mexico lakes can fluctuate seasonally. This is primarily a warm-water paddling destination suitable for leisurely kayaking and canoeing, though anglers also frequent the lake. Be sure to verify any current access hours, fees, or specific regulations through San Miguel County or the managing agency before your trip.
