The agricultural use of the lake includes irrigating crops such as alfalfa, corn, and vegetables. It is a popular recreational spot that attracts visitors from all over the world for activities such as fishing, boating, camping, and hiking. Overall, the Abiquiu Lake is critical for water supply in New Mexico while also serving as a popular tourist destination.
