Crater Lake

Is Crater Lake visible today? Sometimes the lake is hidden by clouds, especially in the winter. This view looks north across the lake from the Sinnott Overlook at Rim Village (elevation 7,100 feet). On a clear day, it takes in Wizard Island, Llao Rock, and Mount Thielsen.

Steel Information Center

The Steel Information Center at Park Headquarters (elevation 6,450 feet) is open daily except December 25th. This view is useful in showing the amount of snow currently on the ground in the park. It can be 10 to 15 feet deep in the late winter and early spring.

Open the view

Cameras, images and status messages come from the National Park Service API and open on nps.gov — we link rather than embed, so you always see the park's own current player. Views refresh on the park's schedule, not ours.

WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE

40 parks with cameras

The first number is how many cameras are working now. Every camera opens on nps.gov — we link rather than embed, so you always get the park's own current player, and this page can't break when the Park Service changes it. Data from the NPS API.
