One of my favourite places, just love Canada and the rockies
Emerald Lake is an absolutely beautiful glacial-fed lake with vibrant turquoise-coloured water located in British Columbia’s Yoho National Park, similar to that at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. It was my second day in Banff National Park (staying in Canmore) when my mom and I drove to Yoho National Park in British Columbia after hiking at Johnston Canyon during the morning. The park was absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I was really IN the mountains. The landscape of tall snow-peaked mountains and dense pine tree forests was definitely one of the most stunning and beautiful that I have ever seen. It was incredible and awe-inspiring to drive through this park. We first stopped at the spectacular Takakkaw Falls before heading to Emerald Lake next. The lake was accessed by driving along a narrow highway that passed through beautiful thick forests which ended at the lake’s decent sized parking lot. We arrived around late morning and it was already quite busy and crowded, but we got lucky and found a really close parking spot! The lake was located pretty much right beside the parking lot and it was a very short walk to get there. Seeing it in person was amazing! It was a cloudy day, but the colour of the water was incredible and bright and the lake was surrounded by mountains and forests. There was a long wooden boardwalk which extended out over the water and led to a small wooden restaurant at the end of it. There were lots of people on the boardwalk but it was a great area to get some fantastic views of the whole lake and take some photos.
Emerald Lake reminded me of Moraine Lake and Lake Louise in Banff National Park, but it felt much less commercialized and “discovered,” which I enjoyed. There were quite a few people there but nothing like the crowds that the previous two lakes experience.
After admiring the lake from the boardwalk, my mom and I began went for a leisurely walk along the Lakeshore Trail, which was an easy 5 kilometre trail that encircled the entire lake and followed along the shoreline, however we did not complete the entire trail. There were also canoes and boats available for renting at the lakeshore, which I am sure would be an amazing experience.
