クラマス郡周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Each year, Crater Lake closes the park to cars for the Ride the Rim event. Best time to visit. So amazing.

If you are only going to stop at one viewpoint at Crater Lake, this one is at the top of the list! The view of Wizard Island is one of the best you'll get.

If you walk parallel to the Rim Drive along the crater, you will have fantastic views of the crater lake that are not as crowded as those at Rim Village.

From the Watchman Overlook, you have a great view towards Wizard Island and Crater Lake itself. If you are willing to leave your bike for some minutes, this is also the starting point for the hike up to the Watchman, an old fire tower with a stunning panoramic view.

The community of Crescent Lake was originally located along the Southern Pacific Railroad line, 2 miles (3.2 km) south southwest of present-day Crescent Lake Junction. The former site was built following the completion of a railroad section in 1923 (opened in 1926) called the Natron Cutoff in the Cascade Range. This section replaced the route through the Siskiyou Mountains for trains traveling between the Willamette Valley and California. The community of Crescent Lake was built to serve the steam trains that ran on the line until the 1950s and to maintain the tracks and signals over the adjacent section of the main line. Crescent Lake also served as a divisional meeting point where freight train operations were passed on to new crews. Trains traveling from Oregon to California were manned by crews from Eugene in the Willamette Valley up the "hill" to Crescent Lake, where Klamath Falls crews relieved them to continue the journey to Dunsmuir in Northern California. Crews running trains in the opposite direction were similarly relieved at Crescent Lake. Each of the relieved crews remained at Crescent Lake for a mandatory rest period, after which they relieved an arriving crew and returned to their respective home locations. The site included a train depot, a roundhouse, accommodation for resting train crews known as the "clubhouse", two general stores (one with a tavern), a restaurant, a one-room schoolhouse and a post office. The local railway staff consisted of a full section gang (supervisors), a signalman, an electrician, a station agent and shift operators, a train driver, a yard master and several other tradesmen. After World War II, the community began moving to its current location along Oregon Route 58, which had been completed a few years earlier in 1940. In 1958 the roundhouse was decommissioned and soon demolished and in 1970 a fire at the restaurant destroyed the remaining businesses on what is now known as Crescent Lake Highway. A few dilapidated homes remained occupied along Crescent Lake Highway into the 1990s. However, the local fire department intentionally destroyed what remained of the ghost town during a training exercise. All that remains of the former site is a water tower and a parking lot for winter recreation. The local post office was located in the "Odell Sportsman" general store, it was destroyed in a fire on January 23, 2009, but is now back in operation..

The location was originally founded in 1924 as a station on the Southern Pacific Cascade Line named "Knott" during construction. The station's name was changed to Chemult when the line opened in 1926 and a post office was established in the same year. The name Chemult comes from a Klamath chief who was one of the 26 who signed the Klamath Lake Treaty of October 14, 1864. Amtrak's Coast Starlight stops daily in Chemult at the Chemult Amtrak station, and Pacific Crest Bus Lines stops daily at the station on its Klamath Falls to Bend route. There is also a Winema National Forest Ranger Station within the community. The area around Chemult is commonly used for hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, dog sled racing, fishing and hunting. Chemult also offers the annual Sled Dog Races, where mushers come to drive their sled dogs and compete for cash prizes.

Is very easy to reach from all parking lots at Crater Lake. Toilets can be found in the gift shop and two adjacent houses. A house ensemble worth seeing with friendly staff in the shop and the bistro.
