Wizard Summit
                                Crater Lake National Park's Cleetwood Cove Trail, the only path to the lake, will be closed for construction from 2026 to 2029, according to the National Park Service. As a result, there will be no access to the lake during the 2026, 2027, and 2028 summer seasons; effectively closing access to Wizard Island.

Notes
Rocky climb to the top of Wizard Island. Spectacular lake views, interesting geology. A path leads around the 90-foot-deep crater at the summit.

                    Horses On the Trail?
Horses can be startled easily, so it’s important to make your presence known when approaching stock. Stand on the lower side of the trail to avoid startling them.
