Lizard Lake is a lake in
Gunnison County,
Colorado. The lake is located within the boundaries of the
White River National Forest, between
Marble and the ghost town of
Crystal, along Crystal City Road (FSR #314). The lake has views of Whitehouse Mountain (to the southeast), and is near Sheep Mountain (to the northeast) and Hat Mountain (to the southwest). The name Lizard Lake is a misnomer for the
salamanders (not lizards) with feather-like gills inhabiting the lake, seen along the mud lake bottom and floating above the aquatic vegetation.
