Blackwater Draw Locality 1

Great location for a nature walk and learning about the deepest well in the United States! The entrance fees are super low without any time constraint on the small historic building and the sites. Definitely recommend visiting if in the area. It can get hot on the trail, but there are places to sit and some tree coverage.

Beware! Don’t let Google Maps take you to wrong place! You want to turn where you see the Blackwater sign! Not the small highway sign. You should cross a cattle guard and see a small yellow building. GM took me one turn too far into a dead end with narrow turn around and mud (as it was raining).
This is a treasure to visit! Best to see museum in Town first. Easy walk around.

Absolutely perfect! What a experience walking through time and seeing bones in our earth, showing how little time we have here. It was such a humble experience.

This is a great place to visit and both the site and museum can be done within 3 hours.
4th Sunday of the month is free!!!!

Site is significant in archeological discovery in No. America so I was glad to visit. Site itself has not much to see now days. Pavilion that realistically illustrates levels of human presence in area was worth the visit. Student workers were informative and interesting to talk with.

Website is confusing for those not in the know. Need to clearly distinguish museum and it's offerings from site. Days and times that each are open are contradictory. Even the students were unclear about what time the museum was open the day I visited the site.

I never leave reviews but I was blown away by this site, the preservation, and John the tour guide. It was a great experience
Thank you!

Had a wonderful time here with my family. Great history right in NM. Blackwater Draw is a draw for the whole family. Great job ENMU!!

This is an unexpected gym, lot's of fossils to see and a great hike. The staff even taught us how to throw gian arows with a stick! Pretty cool.

There are lots of of mammoths and bison skulls and teeth and tusks. Really great. We were quite impressed. There is a small gift shop too. It’s worth visiting if you are passing Clovis.

Very scenic, my kids had a blast

Great place for nerds like myself and us full of artifacts knowledge stopes, but if your not a person of exercise look out because there is a lot of walking involved. Make sure to stay hydrated on your trip everyone; you don't want to pass out

This was excellent and simple. Easy to navigate. The interpretive center was unusual in its accessibility.
Unassuming for how profoundly impactful this site is for our understanding of prehistoric North American people.

Excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and shared information in a fun way! Site was very impressive!

Great site to visit. The place that literally changed our understanding of humans in north america. Site closes at 4 pm so plan accordingly.

Swing by the museum in town first. Save your recipe as it includes admission to here as well.

Our student guide was so knowledgeable! This place is a diamond in the rough

This was fantastic the curator let me in for free cos I had no cash

Greatest archeological site in us!

You can take your dog if leashed, and you see their progress and new discoveries as they dig level after level.

Should be experienced together with the museum on campus to extract maximum meaning from the site
