What a magical afternoon we spent here on October 12th. Snowfall had closed down part of the park on the previous day and even in the morning. But the sun came out, roads were opened back up and the snow was removed from the roads. Also we were very fortunate that the construction on the East Rim had been paused for the season which meant the full drive around the lake was possible. Every 100 meters the perspective on the lake and its surroundings changes. Absolutely stunning and if I could give 50 stars instead of 5, I'd do it.

Worth the trip. Powerful scenery.

A Natural wonder ! The whole experience of standing inside Mount Mazama, a once-huge 12,000-foot volcano that erupted about 40 times stronger than Mount St. Helens & walking around the 7,000-foot-high rim of a volcano caldera, is truly breathtaking . The water in the lake is so clear that on clear days it acts like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forests. There are also many natural volcanic formations in the lake area , such as the Phantom Ship, the Pumice Castle, and the pinnacles (also known as "fossil fumeroles"). The mountains surrounding the lake and the vantage point views of the surroundings allow us to see far and wide. With the sunlight and cloud formations creating different colors in the sky. It's an awesome life time experience!

Nice lake to visit. It was smoky and raining the day we visited, but still had a great experience.
Boat tours was closed due to bad weather and visibility was low.
