About

Emerald Lake gets its name from its striking green color which comes from vegetation that grows in the shallow water.

In the 1930s, park rangers stocked this lovely roadside gem with large rainbow trout. Today, the lake no longer has fish, but its stunning green color still makes a great photo op!
