Crater Lake

Welcome to the deepest lake in America. Crater Lake. Oregon's 7 wonders and a sight only you can truly love when you see it in person. Surrounded by cliffs 2,000 feet high, Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon and open year round. Everything from snow shoeing and skiing to hiking and boat tours, Crater Lake is for anyone, any age.

Most visitors come around July due to mild temperatures however, because the park is elevated 6,500 ft high the conditions can change at anytime. But isn't that a part of the fun? In the winter the park is hit with hard blizzards and some parts of the park are closed. The beauty of this park is something that can not be argued.
