The Largest Labyrinth Weir Spillway Facility In The World
The Second Largest Lake In New Mexico Logan is pleased to welcome you to the shores of Ute Lake. The idea for this
project was conceived by the local people who foresaw the time when Ute Lake would be essential for the growth and welfare of Logan, Quay County and New
Mexico. As a result of their efforts, the project became a reality. Ute Dam, completed in 1963, is owned and operated by the NM Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC).
Ute Dam is the overall largest Labyrinth
Weir Spillway facility in the free world and the largest built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation with a design discharge capacity of 550,000 cubic feet per second.
Recreation Ute Lake is the second largest lake in New Mexico and provides boating and water
sports, including water skiing, kneeboarding, jet skiing, wind surfing, parasailing, warm water fishing, and hunting. Numerous species of protected game are also found in the area.
