    Hiking

    Paulina Lake is one of two huge lakes (East Lake being the other one) that were formed, when parts of the gigantic Newberry Volcano collapsed. The lakes slowly collected water and are used today for recreation such as hiking, mountainbiking and kayaking. This is also the trailhead for the Little Crater Lake that will take you to the top of Little Crater with nice views over Paulina Lake, Paulina Peak and the Big Obsidian Flow.
