Emerald Lake

Emerald Lakeis nestled in Yoho National Park Of Canada in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is one of the larger lakes in the park, sitting at an elevation of approx. 1,300m, and is surrounded by peaks such as Mount Burgess and Mount Wapta. Every summer, glacial meltwater carries fine rock flour into the lake, and under the sunlight, the entire lake displays shifting shades of emerald green, living up to its name. The century-old Emerald Lake Lodge and a wooden bridge are preserved on the lakeshore, and the red canoes and reflections of snow-capped mountains are frequently photographed by visitors. There is also an approx. 5.2 km loop trail around the lake, which is relatively flat. In summer, it is suitable for hiking and boating, and in winter, after the lake freezes, it is perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
