==Activities== [[Image:Daily trips CLNP.jpg|thumb|upright|Daily Trips (1931).]] Many [[hiking]] trails and several campgrounds are inside the park. Unlicensed fishing is allowed without any limitation of size, species, or number. The lake is believed to have no indigenous fish, but several species of fish were introduced beginning in 1888 until all fish stocking ended in 1941. [[Sockeye salmon|Kokanee salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus nerka'') and [[rainbow trout]] (''Oncorhynchus mykiss'') now thrive and reproduce here naturally.<ref> {{cite web | url = http://www.nps.gov/crla/planyourvisit/upload/2010-fishing-sb.pdf | title = Crater Lake National Park: Fish | publisher = National Park Service | access-date = 2013-09-24 }}</ref> Swimming is allowed in the lake, and the boat tours, which stop at [[Wizard Island]], a cinder cone inside the lake, operate daily during the summer. All lake access for people is from Cleetwood Trail, a steep walking trail, and there are no roads for cars, trucks, or wagons that lead to the waterfront. All of the boats in the lake were delivered by helicopter.<ref>{{Cite news | last = Barnard | first = Jeff | title = New tour boats give Crater Lake a lift | newspaper = Corvallis Gazette Times | location = Corvallis, OR | date = 2003-07-24 }}</ref> Numerous observation points along the caldera rim for the lake are readily accessible by [[automobile]] via the Rim Drive, which is {{convert|33|mi}} long and has an elevation gain of {{convert|3800|ft}}.{{fact|date=April 2025}} The highest point in Crater Lake National Park is [[Mount Scott (Klamath County, Oregon)|Mount Scott]] at {{convert|8929|ft}}. Getting there requires a fairly steep {{convert|2.5|mi|adj=mid}} hike from the Rim Drive trailhead. On a clear day, visibility from the summit exceeds {{convert|100|mi}}, and one can, in a single view, take in the entire caldera. Also visible from this point are the white-peaked [[Cascade Range]] [[volcano]]es to the north, the [[Columbia River Plateau]] to the east, and the Western Cascades and the more-distant [[Klamath Mountains]] to the west.{{fact|date=April 2025}} The scenery of Crater Lake is fully accessible during the summer months. Heavy snowfalls in this park during the fall, winter, and spring months force many road and trail closures, including the popular Rim Drive, which is generally completely open from July to October and partially open in some other months, such as May, June, and November.{{fact|date=April 2025}}
