Tips from the community

Wizard Island is one of two small islands in Crater Lake. It’s a 763-foot cinder cone that was formed as Crater Lake first started filling with water after the Mazama Volcano collapsed. A boat tour is the only way to reach this island. While there, hike up to Wizard Island Summit; it’s 2.2 miles round trip. Reserve tickets early for your boat trip as tours book up quickly.
