Beat 3
Pecos National Historical Park Fishing Reservations
Beat 3: This is southernmost stretch of the Pecos River in the park. This Beat is accessed from the South Pasture Loop Trail and requires a 2 mile roundtrip hike just to access the river. The hike is open and exposed to the elements. It is not recommended to do this hike with chest waders or other heavy gear unless you are prepared for the hike experience. Streambank vegetation is thick in locations making shore access limited. Please consider these factors before booking a reservation for this more challenging Beat.
