Snowshoeing Crater Lake National ParkFor those desiring a winter backcountry adventure in a spectacular setting, snowshoeing around Crater Lake on the unplowed Rim Drive is an unforgettable experience. Crater Lake National Park receives an average of 44 feet of snow every year. During the winter, trails and unplowed roads provide skiers and snowshoers with access to open slopes, dense forests, and breathtaking views, making it ideal for backcountry visitors. Once an active volcano (Mount Mazama), this now deep blue crater lake is 6 miles across and nearly 2,000 feet deep (the deepest in the US!). With over 100 miles of hiking trails in Crater Lake National Park, there is plenty to explore and discover!
