Activity itinerary

Mazama Village Campground & Cabins
  • 15m
Located near the south entrance to the park, Mazama Village features a seasonal campground; the Annie Creek Restaurant and Gift Shop; the Mazama Village Camp Store with groceries, snacks, sundries, and souvenirs; public bathrooms; and a petrol station. You can also access the Annie Creek Trail from the campground. Ask at the camper store for trail details.
Annie Creek Canyon
  • 5m
If you are entering the park from the south, pull over for a view of Annie Creek Canyon. From the overlook, you'll get a glimpse of one of the park's mysterious volcanic features--towering pinnacles made of ash and pumice. These fossilised spires were formed during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Mazama.
Godfrey Glen Nature Trail
  • 30m
Godfrey Glen is an easy one-mile loop and one of the few accessible and pet-friendly trails in the park. The shady path winds through an old-growth forest along the edge of a steep canyon and offers views of strange needle-like towers called pinnacles.
Steel Visitor Center
  • 15m
Originally built as a ranger dormitory, the Steel Information Centre now serves as the park’s main visitor centre, offering information, exhibits and a gift shop. Named after one of the park’s earliest advocates, William Gladstone Steel, the visitor centre received an extensive renovation in the early 2020s and reopened to the public in 2024. The historic building was updated and strengthened to withstand earthquakes and heavy snow.
Rim Village Café and Gift Shop
  • 15m
Located at the edge of the caldera, Rim Village is the main visitor hub featuring a small visitor centre, cafe and gift shop, Crater Lake Lodge, and stunning views of Crater Lake! Check out the Discovery Point Trail, an easy two-mile return hike along the rim to Discovery Point. Or, if you'd like something more challenging, try the climb to Garfield Peak, a 3.5-mile return hike with rewarding views. You can get trail maps and information from the visitor centre. While you're there, don't miss the dramatic cliffside views from Sinnott Overlook, just below the visitor centre.
Crater Lake Lodge
  • 15m
Built in 1915, the historic Crater Lake Lodge sits on the edge of the caldera and offers majestic views of the lake and surrounding sub-alpine meadows. The stone and wood structure retains the charm and character of the original lodge. Stop in for a meal in their dining room--or just sit on the veranda and soak in the views. The lodge is open seasonally from mid-May to early October.
Rim Village Visitor Center
  • 5m
The Rim Visitor Centre is located in the historic Kiser Studio in Rim Village and offers stunning views of the lake. The centre offers park information, maps, books and souvenirs. You can also get your passport stamped here.
Discovery Point Trailhead
  • 1h
This 2-mile return trail along the rim offers amazing views of the lake and Wizard Island. The trail begins at Rim Village and ends at Discovery Point.
Sinnott Memorial Overlook
  • 5m
Don't overlook the Sinnott Memorial Overlook! This cliffside viewpoint features outdoor exhibits and stunning views of the lake. You'll find the overlook behind the Rim Visitor Centre.
Watchman Overlook
  • 1h
From Watchman Overlook, you'll get an unrivalled view of Wizard Island and the crater on top that this lake was named after! You can also climb up nearby Watchman Peak. The steep, 2-mile return trail takes you to a historic fire lookout that sits over 8,000 feet above sea level. There, you'll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
Merriam Point
  • 5m
From Merriam Point, you'll be treated to a spectacular view of Crater Lake and Wizard Island. Look for Mount Scott, the tallest peak in the park, in the distance. Merriam Point was named after John C. Merriam, a prominent palaeontologist who was instrumental in starting the nature interpretation programme at Crater Lake in the early 1900s.
Steel Bay
  • 5m
Located near the Grouse Hill Picnic Area are two scenic viewpoints overlooking Steel Bay. Steel Bay was named after William Gladstone Steel. Steel was known as "The Father of Crater Lake" for his instrumental role in preserving this land as a national park.
Cleetwood Cove Trail
  • 1h
Cleetwood Cove Trail is a two-mile return hike with a 700-foot elevation and steep switchbacks. At the lake, you can take a guided boat tour. Advance reservations can be made here. Some tickets are available for same-day bookings and can be purchased up to 2 hours before departure at the: Mazama Village Cabin/Campground Registration Desk Crater Lake Lodge Front Desk and the Cleetwood Cove Kiosk Check the visitor guide for swimming rules and fishing regulations. If you need to change clothes, there are bathrooms in the parking area just across the road from the trailhead.
Skell Head
  • 5m
Enjoy the view from this promontory named Skell Head and learn about the ancient spirits connected to this sacred place.
Cloudcap Overlook
  • 5m
Like its name suggests, Cloudcap Overlook is the highest overlook on our drive. It also happens to be the highest paved road in all of Oregon! At Cloudcap, you'll be standing around 8,000 feet above sea level with a beautiful view of the lake below. Definitely take time to soak in the views. You'll see many hardy whitebark pine trees here at Cloudcap. Read the interpretive signs to find out why some of these trees are called Flag Trees!
Phantom Ship Overlook
  • 5m
The overlook is one of the best places to see Phantom Ship Island. This jagged formation of volcanic rock rises over 170 feet above the lake's surface and is a remnant of the ancient volcanic core that survived Mount Mazama's eruption. This mysterious island seems to appear and disappear in the mist, kind of like a ghostly ship.
Plaikni Falls Trailhead
  • 1h
A short detour from Rim Drive will take you to the trailhead for Plaikni Falls. This easy, two-mile return hike will take you through an old-growth forest and along a stream bank bursting with summer wildflowers. At the end, you'll be rewarded with a view of a picturesque 20-foot waterfall. The name Plaikni is a Klamath word that means "from the high country." It's a fitting name for these lovely falls whose waters originate nearly 7,000 feet above sea level.
Pinnacles Overlook
  • 45m
This easy, one-mile forested trail follows the rim of Pinnacle Valley, offering stunning views of these fairytale towers. The grey and brown pinnacles were formed when pumice and ash filled the valley following Mazama’s big eruption. Hot gasses trapped underneath this layer of volcanic material escaped through cylindrical vents called fumaroles. The intense heat and chemical action of the gasses caused the pumice and ash surrounding these volcanic vents to harden. Later, when streams of water once again cut through the valley, the softer rock material eroded away, leaving behind these fantastic “fossil fumaroles.”
Sun Notch Trail
  • 30m
The Sun Notch Trail is a little less than a mile long. The loop winds through a meadow to the rim of the lake. From this vantage point, you'll get a different view of Phantom Ship Island.
Vidae Falls
  • 5m
This lovely waterfall is located right next to the road making it easy to stop for a quick photo.
Castle Crest Wildflower Trail
  • 30m
If the summer wildflowers are in bloom, you'll definitely want to check out Castle Crest Wildflower Trail. This easy, half-mile walk meanders up to an enchanting meadow teaming with colourful wildflowers and butterflies.
