Crater Lake, OR Real Estate

Crater Lake is a caldera lake in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 4,000 feet (1,220 m) deep caldera that was formed around 5,677 ( ± 150) BC [1] by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama.

On June 12, 1853, John Wesley Hillman was reportedly the first European American to see what he named "Deep Blue Lake" in Oregon. The lake was later renamed Crater Lake. [2]

Crater Lake is known for its famous piece of driftwood named the " Old Man of the Lake." It is a full-sized tree that has been bobbing vertically in the lake for more than a century. [3] Due to the cold water of the lake, the tree has been rather well preserved.

The lake is 5 by 6 miles (8 by 9.6 km) with an average depth of 1,148 feet (350 m). Its deepest point has been measured at 1,949 feet (594 m) deep, [4] though as with any lake its depth fluctuates with the climate, particularly rainfall, [5] This makes Crater Lake the deepest lake in the United States, the second deepest lake in North America ( Great Slave Lake is the deepest) and the seventh deepest lake in the world ( Lake Baikal is the deepest). It also holds the honor of being the deepest lake in the world that is completely above sea level. The caldera rim ranges in elevation from 7,000 to 8,000 feet (2,130 to 2,440 m).
