My friend and I visited Morphy Lake in July 2017. We love this high altitude lake. Its just beautiful there in the summer. We enjoyed looking for frogs and crayfish in the water along the shore.

While no hunting of any species is currently allowed on the Refuge, the white-tailed and mule deer populations are growing on the Refuge and may, at some point in the future, require management. Interested individuals should check at the Refuge office on the current status of hunting on the refuge.
Boating
Boating is a popular activity, with non-motorized watercraft such as canoes and kayaks being permitted. However, due to the park's high elevation and small size of the lake (only 90 acres), it may not be suitable for larger boats or those seeking extensive boating activities. Fishing from your boat is also allowed but note that swimming in this mountain reservoir isn't recommended because of its cold temperature year-round.
Fishing
Located in New Mexico, this park offers fishing opportunities for rainbow trout and cutthroat trout. Anglers can enjoy shoreline or boat fishing options. The lake is regularly stocked to ensure a good catch rate.

August 11 do not leave litter
park review stars; one to five Beautiful place secluded with pine trees all around. Rangers were friendly and worked cleaning toilets trash etc. Fishing was slow and the water level low. It was a sham as our weekend was a little spoiled due to selfish people shouting until the early hours of the morning and running there generator.
