{{linkless-date|June 2006}} '''Bonita Lake''' is a very scenic Lake located high in the mountains northwest of Ruidoso,_New_Mexico, near the Sierra_Blanca. Although it is near to the Lincoln_National_Forest, it is not itself a state or national park. Because of the high altitude, the lake's temperature is cold year round, and is home to an abundance of Rainbow_trout. The area around the lake has a Campground with hiking trails and streams. {{NewMexico-geo-stub}}
