History
Emerald Lake Lodge was built in 1902 of hand-hewn timber on a peninsula in Yoho National Park. Pat and Connie O'Connor of Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts bought it in 1979, rebuilt the cabins, and reopened a winterized lodge in 1986. The guest-facing name remains Emerald Lake Lodge, not a chain flag.
