Village of Logan
Grants Awarded
We aim to fund a new website, advertising, and public relations campaign to promote Ute Lake as a premier recreation destination in New Mexico. This initiative seeks to increase visitor engagement, boost economic opportunities for our village and Quay County, and enhance the quality of life for New Mexicans by encouraging them to discover and enjoy the lake's offerings.
The Town of Logan plans to construct a walking and jogging path that will link the lake area with the town, enhancing accessibility for residents and visitors alike. This initiative will promote outdoor activity, foster community engagement, and contribute to the overall well-being of the local population.
We call Logan, NM, The Best Little Village by a Dam Site. Over 1,100 people call Logan home in our multicultural community, and our little village started over 100 years ago when someone build a bridge over the Canadian River, and we really came to being in 1963 when Ute Dam was constructed, and Ute Lake came into being. Our town is 8 square miles, intersected by route 54 and NM State Road 540, and we get visits by the Union Pacific Railroad during the week. Our lake is nearly 13 miles long, sits at an elevation of 3,742 feet and offers camping, boating, fishing, picnicking, swimming, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Logan is a recreation destination for visitors from New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas seeing nearly 400,000 visitors a year. The Village by the damsite offers opportunities for the recreating visitors but also serves a a second home for many from surrounding states.
