Basically it was a volcano the same size as Mt. Hood (around 12,000 feet) that blew up 7000 years ago and collapsed in on its self.  Over time it filled up with rain water and snow melt.  At almost 2000&#8242; it&#8217;s the deepest lake in America, and it&#8217;s not fed by any rivers or streams.  It&#8217;s also the cleanest lake in America and has the clearest water.  There are some fish that live in there, but they were all introduced by the guy who &#8220;discovered&#8221; it. It was the 7th established national park.  I&#8217;m glad we saw it with snow because it was beautiful and snow is a mystery to us swamp kids.  We stayed in Medford which was kinda neat, but apparently I didn&#8217;t take any pictures \u0304\\_(\u30c4)_\/ \u0304<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2849\"  src=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3011.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Looking out at Wizard Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3096.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2847\"  src=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3096-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3096-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3096-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3096-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_3096.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Normally when it snows you can&#8217;t see the lake very well.
