About Crater Lake, Oregon
This amazing lake is located in south-central Oregon. Beautiful forests and towering mountains surround it. This lake is the site of a volcanic crater and is known for the vibrancy of the water as well as its clarity. Additionally, this is the deepest lake in the nation reaching almost 2,000 ft.
Reasons to Visit
There are plenty of hiking trails throughout the park, so it’s easy to fill your days around the park with beautiful site-seeing and more. The best months to visit the park are July-September because the high elevation makes the park extremely cold during most of the year. If you’re not interested in hiking the trails, spend an afternoon driving around the park on the Rim Drive which gives you a 360-degree view of the lake.
