2. Emerald Lake, Canada
This Canadian destination boasts both scenic lake views and views of the Gray Ridge Mountain. It got its name from the unusual coloration of the water, appearing a deep green-blue in the deeper sections, while the shallows sparkle like a light green opal.
The effect is created by the sun reflecting off of white calcium carbonate on the lake floor, creating a marbling effect on the surface. When it comes to eye-catching bodies of water in North America, don’t be surprised to meet this bad boy on pretty much every list out there.
