Ranger-guided Snowshoe Walks during Winter Months
Crater Lake is one of the snowiest inhabited places in America, receiving an average of 44 feet of snow per year. Ranger-led snowshoe walks are a fun way to explore this winter wonderland while learning how the park's plants, animals, and the lake itself are shaped by the forces of winter.
Ranger-guided snowshoe walks at Crater Lake last 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Snowshoes are provided free of charge, or visitors can bring their own. No previous snowshoeing experience is necessary, all ages are welcome and there is no cost for the tour. During the winter months, the park doesn't even collect an entrance fee.
