Need to Know

During the summer there are typically water faucets with potable water that you use to fill up your bottles in the Mayqueen Campground.

Runner Notes

One of the best relatively flat trail runs in the Leadville area.

Description

This is usually done as an out and back. Park at the dam and follow the Turquoise Lake Trail along the lake to Mayqueen Campground. It's a great trail to acclimate due to the minimal elevation gain and nice climbs.

If you are looking for a shorter and quieter out-and-back adventure on this trail park at the Tabor Boat Ramp and head west to Mayqueen (8.3 mile out and back).
