Emerald Lake

Highlight • Lake

Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park and, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful lakes in Western Canada. Nice is u.a. also that the lake is not as crowded touristy as e.g. Lake Louise in Banff National Park. The Emerald Lake Loop Trail surrounds the lake and for the most part offers fantastic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
