Visitor Centers
There are two visitor centers at Crater Lake National Park. Both
are fully accessible and staffed by park rangers who can assist
you with park information, trip planning, weather forecasts,
and backcountry permits. Books, maps, posters, and other educational
materials are sold at both locations.
The Steel Information Center, located at Park Headquarters,
is open 9:00am - 5:00pm daily. A 16-minute film, The Crater Lake
Story, is shown twice hourly.
The Rim Visitor Center is being
renovated this summer. A temporary visitor center is located
next to the Cafeteria in Rim Village. It is open in June and
September from 9:30am to 5:00pm, and in July and August from
9:00am to 5:30pm.
Boat Tours
The Crater Lake Lodge Company offers 1 hour and 45 minute ranger-narrated
boat tours from late June through mid-September. During peak
season, 9 tours per day are offered, with the first tour leaving
at 10:00am and the last tour departing at 4:30pm. Tickets are
sold at the parking lot above the Cleetwood Cove trailhead. Ask
at a visitor center for current prices. See
page 10 for information about the Cleetwood Cove Trail.
