Crater Lake is located in Oregon, United States and is the deepest lake in the country. The lake is also the seventh deepest in North America and the twenty-fifth deepest in the world. It is also the youngest of the large lakes in the world. The lake was formed about 7,700 years ago when the Mount Mazama volcano erupted and collapsed.<\/p>\n

The crater lake is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Oregon. It is also the deepest lake in the United States. The lake is located in the Cascade Mountains and was formed about 7,700 years ago. The lake is so deep because it is in a caldera, or a large volcanic crater. The crater was formed by the eruption of Mount Mazama.<\/p>\n

The early settlers and explorers did not hear about Crater Lake from the native inhabitants because this place is sacred to most Native Americans of Oregon and northern California Makalaks (now Klamath Indians). They held the belief that this place was so holy that looking upon it would lead to death.<\/p>\n
