Smokey Bear Historical Park
Make Smokey Bear Historical Park part of your Capitan stay. The park is close to the motel and offers a meaningful stop for families, history lovers and anyone curious about the bear behind the national wildfire-prevention symbol.
Visit the museum and grounds, learn the story of the real bear cub who became Smokey Bear, and pair the park with local dining and a scenic Lincoln County drive. Staying nearby gives you time to slow down and enjoy the town instead of treating Capitan as a quick roadside stop.
