Emerald Lake Experiences

Tucked away in Yoho National Park, just over the Alberta border from Lake Louise, Emerald Lake is the perfect place for a rest day from the golf in the Rockies. Stay right on the lakeshore at Emerald Lake Lodge, then explore the waterfalls, rock walls and glacier-fed lakes of the park on your doorstep. There's no golf here, but it acts as a great pause between the championship courses of Banff and the Okanagan Valley.

Discover ways to include Emerald Lake Lodge in a wider Canada golf tour.

Stay at the Emerald Lake Lodge

Set right on the shore of Emerald Lake, this is one of the most memorable places to stay in the Rockies. Cosy rooms with fireplaces and the lake on your doorstep make it a true mountain retreat.

Head west towards the Okanagan Valley, where you can combine exploring the region's finest wineries with some of the best golf in British Columbia.

The Trans-Canada Highway serves up some brilliant places to break the journey. We'd recommend allocating a full day for the drive, so there's no need to rush and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. These are the stops we'd make along the way.

Wapta Falls

Near the park's western boundary, a forest trail leads to Wapta Fall. It sits just off the Trans-Canada Highway, so it's the perfect first stop.  

Golden Skybridge

A short drive beyond the park boundary in the town of Golden, the Golden Skybridge strings suspension bridges high above a forested canyon. The views across the Rocky and Purcell mountains are spectacular.

Revelstoke

The popular ski town of Revelstoke is a natural place to pause for lunch before the final stretch. Take a wander around the downtown and stretch your legs before heading to Okanagan Valley.
