2. Crater Lake – Crater Lake, world renowned for its stunning, beautiful blue color, is the result of a volcano that erupted, then collapsed, forming a caldera which filled with rain water and melted snow to form the deepest lake in the United States, and ultimately, one of nine deepest lakes in the world. There is no inlet or outlet, yet the water is so crystal clear that visitors can see down to the depth of 100 feet, unaided. There is a national park nearby where visitors can camp, hike and even swim in certain parts of Crater Lake.
