Crater Lake National Park is a park that inspires awe in many people who visit. Native American saw the formation of the lake more than 7,700 years ago with a tall peak collapsed as a result of a violent eruption.

Scientists often marvel at the purity of Crater Lake, fed by snow and rain. This lake is considered to possibly be the world’s most pristine lake, as well as one of the most beautiful, and is also the country’s deepest lake at approximately 1,943 feet deep. Cliffs surround Crater Lake, set atop the scenic Cascade Mountain Range.
