Crater Lake National Park

An absolute gem of a national park, Crater Lake National Park is a place that everyone should visit! It is the 5th oldest national park, established in 1902, and the only National Park in Oregon as of this writing. The clear blue lake resides on a collapsed volcano and provides a plethora of hiking and swimming opportunities. Some of the roads may be closed due to the large amounts of snowfall that the park receives in winter. Due to the lodge at the southern end of park (Rim Drive), that creates some light pollution. However, the rest of the park and night sky provide a plethora of amazing opportunities for astronomy and observation.

Covering 1,146 acres, Lake Of The Woods is a natural lake near the crest of the Cascade Range in the Fremont–Winema National Forest in southern Oregon in the United States. Due to its remote location and limited light pollution, this is a great place for astronomy and night sky viewing.
