Turbid Lake is a lake in Park County, Wyoming, in the United States.^[1] Turbid Lake was so named on account of its muddy water.^[2]

The lake is believed to have formed in the crater of a hydrothermal explosion some time around 1300 BC, which created a 4,200 by 5,000 by 100 ft (1,280 by 1,524 by 30 m) crater, the floor of which eventually filled up to form the lake.
