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.)

 

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.)

Note: Due to frequently changing conditions related to COVID-19, a winter/spring edition of the park newspaper was not published in 2020-2021, and the 2021-2022 edition has been delayed. Hopefully it will be available by mid-January.

Note: Guided snowshoe walks are not being offered this winter, and the park's visitor center is closed for construction. Please visit our Current Conditions page to find out what's open & closed in the park right now.

May & June

Arriving in May or early June? Unfortunately, neither edition of the park newspaper will be very helpful. Instead, read our overview of visiting in May and June.
