This lake is so wonderful. Turquoise Lake is usually a relatively arid spot; of all the months in a year January is the one with the most snow, and October meanwhile is the driest month. And if that's not enough, there's loads more to do in the neighborhood of Turquoise Lake. There are some great whitewater spots on West Walker River. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Turquoise Lake has to offer, you can camp at Paho Campground. This lake
