Crater Lake National Park is a "can't miss” natural wonder if you visit Oregon. The NP is only a five hour drive south from Portland. The lake is 5 by 6 miles (8 by 10 km) across with a maximum depth of 1,932 feet (655 m). Crater Lake is the deepest among all lakes in the US and seventh worldwide,... More
