Cerulean Lake is located in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana. Cerulean Lake is in a cirque surrounded by high peaks including Rainbow Peak to the west, which rises more than 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above the lake. Melt from Rainbow Glacier to the west enters Cerulean lake via Rainbow Creek and other sources.[2]
