Crater Lake Lodge
Crater Lake Lodge was built in 1915 to provide overnight accommodations for visitors to Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon, USA. The lodge is located on the southwest rim of the Crater Lake caldera overlooking the lake below. The lodge is owned by the National Park Service, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
== Local history ==
Crater Lake lies inside a caldera created 7,700 years ago when the -high Mount Mazama collapsed following a large volcanic eruption. Over the following millennium, the caldera was filled with rain water forming today's lake.〔("Crater Lake - Like No Place Else on Earth" ), Crater Lake National Park, National Park Service, United States Department of Interior, 8 March 2008.〕 The Klamath Indians revered Crater Lake for its deep blue waters. In 1853, three gold miners found the lake. They named it Deep Blue Lake, but because the lake was so high in the Cascade Range the discovery was soon forgotten.〔("Park History" ), Crater Lake National Park, National Park Service, United States Department of Interior, 8 March 2008.〕
In 1886, Captain Clarence Dutton led a United States Geological Survey party to Crater Lake. Dutton's team carried a half-ton survey boat, the ''Cleetwood'', up the steep mountain slope and lowered it into the lake. From the ''Cleetwood'', Dutton used piano wire to measure the depth of the lake at 168 different points. The survey team determined the lake was deep. This is surprisingly close to the modern sonar-based readings made in 1959 that established the lake's deepest point at .〔〔Green, Linda W., ("Steps Leading Toward Establishment of Crater Lake National Park - The Dutton Survey" ), Crater Lake Historic Resource Study, National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior, Denver, Colorado, June 1984.〕
William Gladstone Steel accompanied the Dutton party in 1886. He named many of the lake's landmarks including Wizard Island, Llao Rock, and Skell Head, and participated in lake surveys that provided scientific evidence of the lake's uniqueness. After he returned, Steel began advocating that Crater Lake be established as a national park. On 22 May 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt signed a bill making Crater Lake the United States' sixth national park. The idea of building a guest lodge at Crater Lake was first raised by Steel shortly after the park was established.〔
