Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake is a stunning freshwater lake located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. The lake is surrounded by the President Range mountains, forming a natural amphitheater, and is known for its vibrant emerald color due to the melting of glaciers above it. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely hike along the shoreline, a gentle canoe ride across its surface, or a more challenging hike to nearby Takakkaw Falls. The lake is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep, and offers a unique selection of flora due to its high elevation and microclimate. The area is also popular for snowshoeing, cross-country, and backcountry skiing in the winter. With its breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife, Emerald Lake is a must-visit destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts
