You™ll find this true oasis just north of Portales, NM. Oasis State Park is set among cottonwood trees, shifting sand dunes, and a small fishing lake. Oasis State park preserves the beauty of this oasis in the sandy desert of the Llano Estacado or staked plains, forming the high plateau grasslands of eastern New Mexico and west Texas. Oasis State Park was established in 1961.
