Wander the River Walk, which winds along the Pecos River. Sit and rest on a footbridge while you watch boats sail by. Walk along the Pecos Flume, a historic viaduct that has its own entry in Ripley’s Believe it Or Not! for being the World’s Only River That Crosses Itself. Head to Lake Carlsbad to schedule a cruise up the river on the historic George Washington Paddlewheel Boat, or rent a paddle boat for your crew.
