Turqoise Lake is an 1,800-acre alpine lake five miles outside Leadville. Named for the turquoise mine that was once there, it's now a recreational destination. The land surrounding Turquoise Lake is lined with trails and low trafficked paved roads. The lake itself offers boating, fishing and windsurfing.
