Sargent Wildlife Management Area

Sargent Wildlife Management Area offers dispersed camping and angler access near Chama, with primitive facilities including pit toilets and a designated camping area (July 1-Nov 15).

Anglers can access the Rio Chamita and Nabor Lake year-round outside of restricted periods (May 15-June 30 elk calving closure and published hunts), with the Angler Access Trail providing reliable access to the river within 200 feet during closures.

The 20,209-acre area features basic amenities but no water or electrical hookups, making it a rustic option for fishing and outdoor recreation in the Southern Rockies.
