Crater Lake is a former glacial lake. An approximately 2.5 km long hiking trail leads around the lake. The 'Skyline Drive', a tar road, ends at a parking lot by the lake.
Hemlock Pond is nearby and a longer circular hike is possible on the Blue Mountain Lake Trail. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail passes Crater Lake.
