Helpful facts before you go
Crater Lake reaches a maximum depth of around 1,943 feet, making it the deepest lake in the United States.
The lake occupies a caldera formed when Mount Mazama collapsed roughly 7,700 years ago after a major volcanic eruption.
After heavy snowfall averaging more than 500 inches per year, the roads around the lake often remain snow-covered until mid-summer.
The park spans approximately 183,224 acres and was established as a national park on May 22, 1902.
