From Crater Lakeâs Depths to Rooftop Luxury, Hereâs Where We Like to Go Swimming
Some of us like the ocean, and some of us live to discover hidden swimming holes. Hereâs where we dream of making a splash this summer. Sunset Staff – May 11, 2021 | Updated May 23, 2021
Cleetwood Cove Trail, Crater Lake
Teaghan Skulszki
I often think about this swimming spot in my day-to-day life. One of the most ethereal places Iâve ever had the pleasure of enjoying was Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. There is only one place you can swim through the serene blue waters of Crater Lake and to get to it involves a strenuous (but so worth it) hike. With plenty of complaining, I tackled this trail about two years ago. It has been one of my favorite swims to date. I distinctly remember hiking back up the trail and being able to see a fish chase the lure of a fishing rod through the clear water. This swimming spot is surely my favorite in the West.
