North Lake County includes many geological sites including the [[Fort Rock]], a crater marked by wave activity in what was once an ice age lake bed, and the Fort Rock Homestead Village Museum. It's also a site where [[camel]] bones and [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] artifacts have been uncovered. The "world's oldest shoes" were found here in 1938, changing the dates range scientists believed that humans inhabited the far west from 4,000 years ago.<ref name="sos.oregon.gov">{{Cite web |title=Oregon Historical County Records Guide: Lake County History |url=https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/records/county/Pages/lake-history.aspx |access-date=February 12, 2011 |publisher=sos.oregon.gov}}</ref>
