    It was discovered in 1882 by Tom Wilson, a guide for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
    He was working on the construction of the railway when a group of Stoney Nakoda guided him towards the lake. He was so impressed by the color of the water that he named it Emerald Lake, in honor of its vibrant emerald green hue.
