Formed 7,700 years ago when a massive volcano collapsed in what is now the Cascade Mountain Range, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States (1,943 feet) and the ninth deepest in the world. Fed only by rain and snowmelt, the lake is also considered to be one of the world's cleanest. You can see this exceptionally clear and intensely blue lake at the eponymous Crater Lake National Park, spread across 183,224 acres in the state of Oregon. The park is home to more than 700 native plant species (like the rare and endangered whitebark pines that line the rim) and at least 72 types of mammals, including black bears, mountain lions, bald eagles, and owls.
