Tourism Sites and Attractions Open and Safe in Farmington, NM

11 Aug, 2015

For Immediate Release - August 11, 2015

Contact:  Tonya Stinson, Executive Director (505) 326-7602

Although the Animas River in the Four Corners region has been contaminated by the recent EPA mine waste spill in Colorado, the Farmington Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) announces that the Farmington area is still open to visitors and that, in many areas, fishing and water activities are completely unaffected. 

“The situation in the Animas River is heartbreaking, and it is our hope that it will be addressed and cleaned up quickly,” said Tonya Stinson, Executive Director of the Farmington CVB. “However, Navajo Lake State Park and the San Juan River—until it meets with the Animas River west of Farmington—have not been impacted at all by the recent spill. End of summer events and activities are moving full steam ahead, and we welcome all visitors to the area.” 

In addition to water activities such as fly fishing, rafting and water sports, Farmington offers a variety of attractions including hiking, mountain biking, viewing historic landmarks, trading posts, history and culture, unique shopping and 4x4 off-roading, among many others. For a full listing of late summer and early fall vacation ideas, go to FarmingtonNM.org
