Discover the Majestic Beauty of Crater Lake National Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards Crater Lake National Park by following the signs to Route 62. From the nearest major city, Medford, take I-5 North and exit onto OR-62 East. Continue on OR-62 for approximately 60 miles until you reach the park entrance. Be prepared to pay an entrance fee of $30 per vehicle, which is valid for seven days. Once inside the park, follow the Rim Drive to enjoy stunning viewpoints of the lake.

• Public Transportation

  For those relying on public transportation, your best option is to take a bus from Medford to Klamath Falls using the Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD). Once in Klamath Falls, you can catch a Greyhound bus to the Crater Lake National Park area. Note that public transport options may be limited, and you may need to arrange for local taxi services or a rideshare to reach the park entrance after arriving in the area.

• Shuttle Services

  Check for seasonal shuttle services that may operate from nearby towns such as Ashland or Medford directly to Crater Lake National Park during peak tourist seasons. These shuttles can provide a convenient and eco-friendly way to reach the park without the hassle of parking.

• Biking

  If you are feeling adventurous and in good physical condition, consider biking to the park. There are several scenic routes leading to Crater Lake, but ensure that you check the weather and road conditions before embarking on this journey. Remember to carry enough supplies, and plan for a longer travel time.
