Attractions


Elephant Butte Lake

T. or C. and Sierra County welcome visitors from around the world. The peace and quiet is a welcome change for some visitors, while others prefer the recreational offerings. Our biggest fans come for the summer recreation at New Mexico's largest lake, Elephant Butte, just a few miles north of the city. Our neighbor, The City of Elephant Butte, can swell in population on holiday weekends up to 100,000.

Caballo Lake

The quieter lake, Caballo, is just 20 miles south of T. or C., at exit 59 on I-25.

In addition to its lakes, Truth or Consequences Municipal Golf Course draws golfers from miles around with its mature trees and landscaping and modest green fees. More information can be found here.
