About Lake Sumner
Lake Sumner is a tiny, quiet community gathered around a scenic reservoir in eastern New Mexico, roughly 16 miles northwest of Fort Sumner. Life here revolves around the water, with Sumner Lake State Park providing easy access to boating, fishing, and shoreline camping against a backdrop of open prairie. With only a few dozen full-time residents alongside seasonal cabins, the area offers plenty of privacy and wide-open space. It is a very remote spot where most shopping and dining require a quick drive down U.S. Route 84 into Fort Sumner, making it best suited for anyone looking for a peaceful rural retreat.
