Things to do in Carlsbad

Carlsbad sits on the Pecos River in southeastern New Mexico, at the western edge of the Permian Basin, and the region’s drilling boom has made Eddy County one of the most productive oil and gas areas in the country. Energy companies, oilfield service firms, pipeline operators and their crews keep local hotels full. Potash mining has been part of the economy since the 1930s, and the Department of Energy’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a deep underground repository east of town, adds a significant federal and contractor presence.
