Crater Lake-Klamath at a Glance
For those looking to retreat into the rugged beauty of Oregon,
Crater Lake-Klamath is a dream location. Crater Lake was created after the eruption
of volcanic Mount Mazama over 7000 years ago. Each year, thousands of visitors
are drawn to Crater
Lake National Park featuring the lake in the middle of a crater that is over
6 mi (10 km) wide. Guests of the park enjoy driving around the scenic rim of the
crater, boating, camping and hiking in the summer, while the winter affords cross-country
skiing opportunities. The Klamath
Country Fairgrounds & Event Center hosts exhibitons, events, rodeos and concerts
in the area, including the Klamath
County Fair & Carnival. On the shore of Upper Klamath Lake, Klamath
Falls provides a perfect base for birdwatching, whitewater rafting and spelunking.
Also in Klamath Falls, golfers appreciate the Running
Y Resort Golf Course, the only Arnold Palmer-designed course in the state.
