| Crater Lake Real Estate Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountain range, 100 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. It lies inside a caldera, or volcanic basin, created when the 12,000 foot high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption. Its depth of 1,943 feet makes it the deepest lake in the United States, and the seventh deepest in the world. Its fresh water is some of the clearest found anywhere in the world. Generous amounts of winter snow, averaging 533 inches per year, supply the lake with water. There are no inlets or outlets to the lake. Evaporation and seepage prevent the lake from becoming any deeper. Crater Lake isonly 2 hours and 50 minutes, 169 miles, just short day trip from Eugene, Oregon. Its a great place for picnicking, hiking and exploring.  Hybrid Real Estate 1142 Willagillespie #24 Eugene, OR 97401 Fax: (541) 343-2023 |
