There is no better time to witness @craterlakenps’ wild beauty than in the winter. With an average of more than 500 inches of snow a year, Crater Lake offers wonderful opportunities for winter recreation. Here you can go snowmobiling, skiing, snowboarding and sledding. Snowshoeing around the rim of Crater Lake is the perfect way to experience this stunning volcanic feature — at nearly 2,000 feet, it’s the deepest lake in the United States!
