You’ll also find rentals for kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddle boards that you can use around Crater Lake, too.
• Of course, the outdoor recreation doesn’t stop there. Hit popular hiking trails like Tumbling Waters Trail, Fall Branch Falls, Pinhoti Trail Trailhead Dennis Mill, and more. Switch things up and adventure by mountain bike or a horseback ride.
• The surrounding area’s culinary scene benefits from the region’s rich soil, perfect for apple orchards and vineyards. Foodies will love an evening of wine tasting, digging into some local apple treats, or grabbing a bite along the mountain town’s breweries.
