About this Location

Ojito de San Antonio consists of 88 acres that border the village of San Antonio de Padua to the east and the Cibola National Forest to the northwest. In July 1999, Ojito de San Antonio became the first open space property purchased by Bernalillo County. Ojito de San Antonio takes its name from two nearby springs that also share the same name with two acequias that supply water to Ojo de San Antonio and Acequia Madre. The springs have provided clean drinking water for people and wildlife for centuries, in addition to supplying water to an existing fruit tree orchard. Outside of the acequia-fed riparian and orchard areas, Ojito de San Antonio is characterized by a grassy meadow surrounded by steep, piñon-juniper forested foothills.
