During Cthe summer, you can choose to leave the driving to someone else and take a ranger-guided trolley tour. Scheduled tours circle Crater Lake daily from July through October. Tours begin and end at Rim Village, spend two hours traveling clockwise on the 33-mile Rim Drive, and stop along the way for at least four scenic overlooks. “The tours are popular,” Supt. Craig Ackerman says. “They use trolley-style, compressed natural gas vehicles. A uniformed park ranger accompanies each tour and explains the natural and cultural history of the park while visitors get to experience many of the pullouts. “When originally developed in the 1920s and 1930s, most of these pullouts were designed to be part of just such a motor tour of the park. We have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from visitors who have taken the tours. And, there’s an added benefit. We have fewer vehicles crowding the roads and we reduce exhaust emissions.” The trolleys are fully enclosed, climate-controlled, and wheelchair accessible. They seat approximately 25 passengers and are styled to Ranger-guided tours roll daily from early July to mid-October around Crater Lake. resemble vintage streetcars with an interior of hand-finished wood and Photo courtesy Crater Lake Trolley polished brass.

Scientists have measured its clarity to as deep as 120 feet. That clarity, thanks to heavy snowfall each year, gives the lake its trademark blue look.

A year ago, 56 feet of snow fell around the lake and while only 27 feet had fallen as of April 1 this year, there’s no way to predict what spring will bring.

The tract will be added to the newly created Gilchrist State Forest and will be managed for sustainable forestry and public recreation, generating significant revenue for Klamath County. The highest priority acquisition for Governor Kitzhaber, it represents a unique and affordable ($341/acre) investment in Oregon's future. Protection would eliminate 40 miles of inholding border for the 2 million acres of adjoining public lands. It will strengthen critical wildlife corridors, protect a large aquifer recharge area for the federally-designated Wild and Scenic View of project from Buell Butte (Photo by Doug Decker (Oregon Deschutes River, and restore a mature Ponderosa State Forester)) pine forest, one of the highest priority habitats in Oregon's Conservation Strategy. Because of its prime location--close to Bend and abundant outdoor recreation--and permissive zoning (with destination resort overlay), this parcel is seriously threatened by parcelization and conversion.

  • Upper Deschutes River Fish Managementplan
    Upper Deschutes River Fish ManagementPlan Draft May22, 1996 Oregon Department of Fish and Wtldlife Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife Page 1 of 431 Upper Deschutes River Basin Fish Management Plan 1996 COMPLETED DISTRICT DRAFT 04/11/96 6:12:58 PM DESCHUTES RIVER from Wickiup Dam to Bend (North Canal Dam) including the tributaries Fall River and Spring River Overview This portion of the basin plan includes the Deschutes River from Wickiup Dam (RM 227) downstream to Bend (North Canal Dam, RM 164.8), Fall River, and Spring River. The Little Deschutes River, a major tributary which enters at RM 193, is not included because of its' length and connection with other waters in the basin. The Little Deschutes River will be presented in a separate section of the basin plan. In the Habitat and Fish Management sections of the following discussion, the Deschutes River will be divided into two sections; Wickiup Dam to Benham Falls (RM 181), and Benham Falls to Bend (North Canal Dam). The reason for this is based on stream morphology and changes in fish populations. Benham Falls is a high gradient natural cascade which separates the Deschutes River into two logical sections with low gradient above the falls and high gradient below. Similarly, fish population composition changes at Benham Falls with brown trout dominant above and rainbow trout dominant below. The remaining sections; location and ownership, fish stocking history, angling regulations, management issues, summary of alternatives and alternatives will be presented as (1) Deschutes River, and (2) Tributaries. In 1987, the Oregon legislature designated the section of Deschutes River from Wickiup Dam to General Patch Bridge, and from Harper Bridge to the north boundary of the Deschutes National Forest as a State Scenic Waterway.
