About Crater Lake

Crater Lake fills the caldera left when Mount Mazama collapsed in a catastrophic eruption about 7,700 years ago. With no inlets or outlets — only snow and rain — it is 1,949 feet deep, the deepest lake in the United States and one of the clearest anywhere, and its blue is unlike any other water.

Wizard Island, a cinder cone, rises from the west end; the Old Man of the Lake, a hemlock log, has floated upright for more than a century. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon's only national park, was created in 1902 after William Gladstone Steel spent seventeen years campaigning for it.

Why we cut this one

Crater Lake is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.
