Woods Lake – SUP

Cappie’s Scoop: I went camping and next to our campground was a lake! It can’t get better than that for a water dog like me. So mom and I went out on the standup paddleboard to check out the lake. I really wanted to jump in and swim around but I was a good boy. I stayed on the board and let mom take me on a tour of the lake. It was a lot of fun! I even saw a beaver swimming across the lake. I don’t know what they are but mom said they like to build dams with lots of sticks. So that means they like sticks just like me! Sounds like they are cool critters. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: Timing didn’t work for us but we’d recommend you paddleboard at sunset because it’s beautiful from the lake! The town of Telluride is located 40 minutes from here.

Directions: From the town of Telluride, head west on highway 145 for about 13 miles to County Road 57P, Fall Creek Road. Turn left (heading south) onto CR 57P and continue for about 5.2 miles to the National Forest Boundary where CR 57P becomes Forest Service Road 618. Follow 618 for another 3.3 miles to the Woods Lake Campground and Lake.
