Crater Lake

Sunday, 24th April 2005 by

Oregon’s spectacular Crater Lake is (at its deepest) 1,932 feet deep — the deepest lake in the United States. The lake is in a volcanic caldera that was formed 6900 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. You can also see the lake’s Wizard Island in this photo. Thanks: Jim Heid
