With
its towering Cascade Mountains and numerous lakes, Klamath County has plenty to
keep any family busy with sailing, canoeing, fishing and exploring. Recreational
areas like the Seven Lakes Basin, the Sky Lakes Wilderness area, Four Mile Lake,
Lake of the Woods, Fish Lake, the Mountain Lakes Wilderness area and Klamath Lake
offer complete visitor facilities including lodges, cabins, camping, RV parks,
boat and canoe rentals.
The
natural centerpiece of Klamath County is Crater
Lake National Park, Oregon’s only National Park. Widely known for its intense
blue color and spectacular views, it was formed from the eruption of Mt. Mazama
7,700 years ago. It is the deepest lake in the United States at 1,932 feet. The
park is open year-round. In the summer you can drive or cycle the Rim Drive, enjoy
boat tours, stay in the historic Crater Lake Lodge, camp at Mazama Village, or
hike the park’s various trails including Mt. Scott at 8,929 feet. Access during
the winter is limited to the southern entrance (off Highway 62). Cross-country
skiing and snowshoeing are favorite winter pastimes.
