Crater Lake

Specialty : “America’s Deepest Lake. With a depth of 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States – and one of the most beautiful. The water’s intense blue color is an indication of its great depth and purity. Surrounded by cliffs, the lake is fed entirely by rain and snow. Scientists consider Crater Lake to be the cleanest and clearest large body of water in the world.

In an average winter, Crater Lake National Park receives 43 feet of snow!”
