Matchless provides the boat ramp for Turquoise Lake. Located on the south-eastern shoreline, Recreation Vehicle camping and picnicing areas share this site. Boat ramp use is not year round, please contact the Forest Service Office in Leadville for current schedules.
ALERT: Turquoise Lake Matchless boat ramp will not open as scheduled this Memorial Day weekend (2019) due to ice and snow. Twin Lakes boat ramp continues to be closed due to low water levels. Both boat ramps will remain closed until conditions on lakes improve.
