Crater Lake is famous for its incredible views from the towering lip of the volcanic caldera, but some visitors are there to get a closer look at the deepest lake in the U.S. This summer will be the last chance to swim or boat in the icy waters of Crater Lake until at least 2029, as the National Park Service prepares to begin a major renovation of the park’s single lake access point. Crews will be rehabilitating the Cleetwood Cove Trail that leads down to the lake, as well as the Cleetwood Marina, where visitors can access the water and catch boat tours to Wizard Island, according to a National Park Service project page. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with the trail expected to reopen summer 2029.
