Crater Lake National Park, Douglas County Travel Guide

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from Roseburg, head east on OR-138 E. Continue on this road for about 68 miles. You'll pass through beautiful forested areas and can stop at various viewpoints along the way. As you approach the park, you'll merge onto OR-62 N, which will take you directly to the park entrance. The drive takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic and weather conditions. Keep in mind that there may be entrance fees to the park, which are typically around $30 per vehicle for a seven-day pass.

• Public Transportation

  For public transportation, you can take a Greyhound bus from Roseburg to Medford. Once in Medford, you would need to use a local taxi or rideshare service to reach Crater Lake National Park, as there are no direct public transit options from Medford to the park. The bus trip to Medford takes about 1.5 hours, and rideshare or taxi services may cost around $100 to $150 depending on the distance and vehicle type.

• Carpool or Shuttle Service

  Consider arranging a carpool with fellow travelers or checking if any local tour companies offer shuttle services to Crater Lake National Park. This can often be a more economical option. Tour companies may provide round-trip transportation for a fee, which can vary based on the service provider and season. It's a good idea to book in advance during peak tourist times.
