Oregon Crater Lake National Park

Visitor Information - Oregon Crater Lake National Park

Formed after the collapse of volcano Mount Mazama over 7,000 years ago, Oregon Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States at 1,943 feet (592 meters), and the seventh deepest lake in the world. The extreme depth and pure water combine to create a blue gem that stuns many first-time visitors into silence.

Oregon Crater Lake is fifth oldest national park, founded in 1902, and Oregon Crater Lake Lodge is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Heavy snow closes most facilities at Oregon Crater Lake in the winter.
