about crater lake
In the Cascade Mountains of southern Oregon, this national park is known for its namesake Crater Lake that was formed by the now-collapsed volcano, Mount Mazama. Wizard Island is a cinder cone near the western edge of the lake, and the Rim Drive, a road surrounding the lake, offers views of the park’s volcanic formations. The park’s numerous trails include Sun Notch, with views of the Phantom Ship, a small island.
