From the Oregon coast we traveled east to Crater Lake. Crater lake is a relatively small lake, but it has some impressive stats. The lake is located at an elevation of just a little over 6,000 feet. The lake is more or less round and only about 6 miles across at it widest point. It is 1,932 feet deep at its deepest point, making it the deepest lake in the U.S. and the seventh deepest lake in the world. The lake was formed by a volcano a few thousand years ago and there is a small island in the lake called Wizard island.
On the border of Oregon and California there is a lake that is about 30 miles long and about two miles wide. This lake is Goose lake. I had never heard of it before, but it is a pretty lake and probably very much appreciated by those living in the area. This area is high desert and very dry for the most part. This lake at the present is very low, you will notice that the water is a long way out from where the shore area is.
We visited the north east shore of Lake Tahoe. The water is unbelievably clear. The property above the shoreline is highly developed with private homes, condominium developments, golf courses and resorts.
