About
Jemez Falls Group Picnic Site sits at 7,880 feet elevation in a forested setting on the Jemez District of the Santa Fe National Forest, approximately 15 miles northeast of Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The site is a reservable group day-use area that can accommodate up to 100 people, making it ideal for family reunions, group outings, and special events. The picnic area features a group pavilion with picnic tables, accessible vault toilets, cooking grills (charcoal only), and an open area suitable for volleyball. A trailhead within the area provides access to the scenic 70-foot Jemez Falls and McCauley Warm Springs. Nearby attractions include fishing on the trout-stocked Jemez River, San Diego Canyon overlook, Valles Caldera National Preserve, and Bandelier National Monument along the Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway. This is a day-use facility only. Overnight camping is not permitted at this site. For overnight stays, the adjacent Jemez Falls Campground offers 52 sites with camping amenities.
