TROUT LAKE NORDIC TRAILS
A Telluride Nordic Association Venue
About 14 miles south of Telluride, Trout Lake is found on Highway 145 at 9,716 feet in elevation within the Uncompahgre National Forest. The Trout Lake Nordic Ski Trails are groomed by the Telluride Nordic Association for skate and classic skiing. The trailhead begins at the Historic Trestle on the southwest side of the lake. The trail follows the old Rio Grande Southern Railroad grade making a small loop near Lizard Head Pass and returns back to the trailhead. The trail is considered intermediate, is pet-friendly* and is approximately five miles round-trip.
*Please stay on pet designated trails and pick up after your pet. Pet waste causes our trails to melt prematurely and unevenly. Making them impassable for grooming.
