| Luna County is known for its clean air. Combined with open trails, it has become an ideal place for outdoor enthusiasts to hike, ride horses, or just take a leisurely walk to watch the birds. |
| Steeped in aviation history, the tradition for flying is still very popular all around the Columbus area. There are several landing strips available - sometimes a property for sale includes its own private strip. |
| State Parks are very important to the State of New Mexico, as they provide diverse recreational opportunities to the residents. Columbus is fortunate to have a Class 1 park within its own Village limits. |

| Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park, just a short drive from Columbus is a remnant of a riverside woodland and restored wetland along the Rio Grande. A haven for migratory birds, walking trails and quiet enjoyment of nature. |
