Emerald Lake is 18 km far from Ooty Bus Stand.This place is not easily accessible but the view of the Lake is very attractive. Bring water and food items when you visiting this lake. We did not find any restaurants and shops nearby and its complexity in reaching there.
Emerald dam is under TNEB control, the access is restricted without prior permission and photography banned, the lake offers great views. There was a small children's park on the right side of the entrance which is not maintained well.
