Crater Lake Access

Crater Lake Access provides a boat launch facility with 4 parking spaces for vehicles with trailers on Forest Service Road 32N08, 7 miles from Highway 44 near Susanville.

The access point serves a small 28-acre mountain lake at 6,800 feet elevation where gas motors are prohibited, making it ideal for fly fishing, canoeing, and float tubing in a peaceful setting.

Basic amenities include a nearby campground with 17 lakeside sites, hand-pumped water, and vault toilets, though the rough and steep access road is not suitable for large RVs or trailers.
