Muncho Lake Provincial Park
Muncho Lake Provincial Park, Nature reserve with jade green lake in Northern Rockies, Canada.
The provincial park features a 12-kilometer-long aqua-green lake surrounded by folded mountain ranges and populated by stone sheep and bison.
The establishment of Muncho Lake Provincial Park in 1957 marked an important addition to British Columbia's protected natural landscapes.
The name Muncho originates from the Kaska language of local Indigenous communities, translating to 'big water' in reference to the lake.
The Northern Rockies Lodge provides accommodations, including hotel rooms, cabins, and restaurant services for visitors traveling along the Alaska Highway.
The lake's distinctive green color results from copper oxide deposits leaching from the surrounding mountains into the water.
