Make a beeline south along I-25 to Elephant Butte Lake State Park, New Mexico's largest and most popular lake. It's about 150 miles from Albuquerque and offers boating, fishing, camping, and lots of other outdoor recreation. More info at: http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/elephant.htm. You might also try Laguna del Perro, which is a little closer to town (90 miles).
