Originally added by Nola Svoboda

Sitting just below the summit of Lizard Head Pass right along Highway 145, Trout Lake is an easy 20 minute drive from Telluride. It is a perfect spot for SUPing that boasts a beautiful and stunning backdrop.

Trout Lake is large enough to provide a good cardio workout without getting crowded and small enough to tour around for hours. It's a perfect lake for SUPing with friends, SUP games, SUP yoga and even SUP fishing.
