Crater Lake

Nestled in the eastern Oregon Cascades, Crater Lake occupies the caldera of a dormant volcano and holds the title of the deepest lake in the United States. The lake’s strikingly clear, deep blue waters are framed by steep, forested cliffs, creating a dramatic and serene landscape. Visitors can explore the park’s old-growth forests and rugged high desert, with numerous hiking trails offering varied terrain and scenic vistas. Today, the park invites guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and geological history of this unique and pristine environment.
