Crater Lake

Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity: fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and perhaps the most pristine on earth. Artists, photographers, and sightseers gaze in wonder at its blue water and stunning setting atop the Cascade Mountain Range.

The North Entrance to majestic Crater Lake National Park is 72 scenic miles from Steamboat Inn making it an excellent day trip. Stop at our front desk for a map of all the waterfalls you can visit along the way.
