About Lake Valley

Lake Valley is a quiet Navajo Nation community in northwestern New Mexico, tucked just west of Chaco Canyon's rugged desert landscapes. The area got its name back in the 1930s when a new dam and irrigation project brought a reservoir to what was once a dry basin. Daily life here is peaceful and spread out, centered largely around the local school and chapter house. It is a close-knit, easygoing spot for anyone drawn to wide-open skies, deep cultural roots, and the remote beauty of the Four Corners.
