Park Newspaper

The park's newspaper and visitor guide, Crater Lake Reflections, is the best source of information for planning a trip to the park. It's published twice a year. (The summer/fall edition typically comes out in early June; the winter/spring edition usually arrives in early December.)

 

Summer/Fall Edition

Visiting between July and October? Download the summer/fall edition to learn about hiking trails, boat tours, and other park attractions. (If you'd prefer a hard copy, we can send you one. Contact us using the link at the bottom of this page.)

Note: In 2020, the summer/fall edition might not be published. The Crater Lake Natural History Association, which funds the printing, is low on revenue due to the COVID-related closure of the park's visitor center bookstores.

 

Winter/Spring Edition

Visiting between November and April? Download the winter/spring edition for information on ranger-led snowshoe tours, ski trails, and winter closures. (If you'd prefer a hard copy, we can send you one. Contact us using the link at the bottom of this page.)
