Crater Lake National Park is centered around the deepest lake in the United States, formed when Mount Mazama collapsed thousands of years ago. Its intensely blue water is fed only by rain and snow. Visitors explore viewpoints along the rim, where steep cliffs drop to the lakes surface. Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone, rises from the water and adds to the parks dramatic scenery.
The parks high elevation brings heavy snowfall, creating opportunities for winter recreation. Its geology and clarity make Crater Lake one of the most iconic natural features in the Pacific Northwest.
