Malpais Tank

The 0.1-acre Malpais Tank in Grant County is a reservoir in New Mexico and covers about 0.1 acres, reaches about 1.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.1 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Malpais Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. A focused trip to Malpais Tank begins this way: this water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
