| | site to spend a night or two. On a wonderful day you acquire a sight of Turkey Creek Mesa from Cushman Lake, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by nearby Alta Reservoir Number 3. So much cool stuff to do here in the Uncompahgre Plateau Mountains, too delightful to be true. Telluride has good slopes and a friendly staff, and if you came for an overnight stay Riverwood Inn and RV Park is a great site to camp. Don't leave Cushman | |

Lake without first going for a hike along the Lizard Head Trail, and get your pulse rate up on the pleasant whitewater of Mineral Creek - South. Now, you may believe that's plenty but there's even more fun stuff to do here at
Cushman Lake. A round of golf at nearby Telluride Ski & Golf Club is a brilliant way to kill some time. Lakes are delightful; Wild Boy Lake is a lake that's in the vicinity of Cushman Lake. The Uncompahgre Plateau Mountains scenery
is always beautiful. Through the summer months at Cushman Lake highs are regularly in the 80's, and through summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. Daytime highs during the winter are in the 30's while Cushman Lake overnight low
temperatures throughout the winter are in the 0's. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this location. Hit the slopes at Silverton in the neighborhood. At Cushman Lake you don’t see much rainfall; throughout the month of July
you get the most rain around here, and June is the month with the least moisture. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the Sheep Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend San Miguel River.
