Jemez National Recreation Area is located in Santa Fe National Forest, covering 57,650 acres and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service's Jemez Ranger District. The Forest Service promotes the area for fishing, camping, rock climbing, hunting and hiking. The area has been traditionally used by Jemez Pueblo, so government is obliged to consult the native people on matters concerning cultural and religious sites. They may close areas for traditional uses. Mining is prohibited, except on already existing claims. Part of the area that covers about 9,350 acres is in private hands. The national recreation area is adjacent to Valles Caldera National Preserve. Jemez National Recreation Area was established in 1993
