Emerald lake is a small beautifully colored lake that is truly rustic and does not have any amenities. This lake is accessed by foot from the Trout Lake Trail Head by the Hoodoo Canyon Trail #17that intersects with the Emerald Lake trail and is just a short 4.8 mile hike. Although there are no fish in the lake, wildlife and wildflowers are abundant.
