Lloyds Lake, or Lloyd's Reservoir, is located just southwest of the small town of Monticello, Utah. This lake often sparkles with light turquoise-blue water, which are regularly stocked with rainbow trout for those who enjoy fishing and have permits. There is a pleasant, 2.5 mile, generally flat, dirt walking trail that circumnavigates the lake. This loop is only open to foot traffic and dogs must be leashed. From the trail you get amazing views of the Abajo Mountains, especially the towering Abajo Peak at 11,360 feet over turquoise waters. There is little shade on the trail; the trail is primarily in the sun, with only sporadic patches of shade provided by scattered trees. Be prepared and wear sunscreen and bring an ample supply of water.
