Turbid Lake is a lake in Park County, Wyoming, in the United States. Turbid Lake was so named on account of its muddy water.[1]

The lake is believed to have formed in the crater of a hydrothermal explosion some time around 1300 BC, which created a NaN0NaN0 crater, the floor of which eventually filled up to form the lake.
