Fence Lake rewards those who value room to roam, wide skies, and a quiet pace along State Road 36. Set in the southwest corner of Cibola County, the area blends working ranchlands with off-grid homesteads and truly dark nights for stargazing. Everyday needs are often handled in Grants or Gallup, while the Cibola County government provides key services and information online.
Adventure is close at hand. Lava flows, caves, and sandstone bluffs fill nearby El Malpais National Monument, and centuries of inscriptions tell stories at El Morro National Monument. Forest roads lead into the high-country pines of the Cibola National Forest, and weekend anglers head to the Quemado Lake Recreation Area for trout, cool breezes, and camping under brilliant stars.
Families find K–12 options through Grants Cibola County Schools, with some households—depending on address and enrollment policies—considering Quemado Schools to the south in Quemado. Community life revolves around seasonal rodeos, local artisans, and neighborly gatherings, while wide-open parcels invite hobby farming, solar-powered living, and quiet creative pursuits.
