Colorful paddleboats on crystal blue Palisade Lake in Paslisade State Park. We were there in May of 2014, and woke up on Mother's Day to a surprise 9 inches of snow! It had mostly melted by the next day but still provided a pretty contrast to the bright blue sky. This state park offers fishing, camping, golfing, OHV trails, and boat rentals. #utah #palisadelake #snow #lake
