Crater Lake in Oregon Will Close Until 2029 After This Summer

"The national park in south-central Oregon is implementing widespread seasonal and indefinite closures following recent wildfire damage and to accommodate planned construction: boat tours and swimming at the lake will be suspended in 2026–2028, the North Entrance Road and Rim Drive are closed for the season until roughly June or July, and the Bald Crater Loop, Bert Creek, and Boundary Springs Trails remain closed until further notice. Visitors should plan accordingly; park officials aim to restore lake-related recreation by the 2029 season if work stays on schedule." - Travel + Leisure Editors
