Phantom Ship Overlook Phantom Ship is a small island which resembles a “ghost” pirate ship. It rises about 16 stories out of the water. Phantom Ship Overlook at Kerr Notch is one of the stops along the Rim Drive. Waterfalls In addition to the many hiking trails and marvelus overlooks - there are two waterfalls at Crater Lake. One is perched along Rim Drive, and the second accessible by trail. Vidae Falls is a 100-foot waterfall that drops over a group of rocky ledges. Located 3.1 miles east of the Park Headquarters on East Rim Drive, the falls cascade down the caldera in a graceful, lovely fashion. Plaikni Falls is situated on a 2 mile, out-an-back trail. Take the East Rim Drive to the Phantom Ship Overlook; you will find the trailhead another mile south on Pinnacles Road. The fall is gorgeous as it powerfully streams over the ledge and slides its way through a rock stream. Experience the glorious glow of autumn at one of the most unforgettable locations in Oregon. Crater Lake is a true marvel of beauty, and the activities and experiences you can do throughout autumn create a truly unforgettable trip!

Explore Rim Village Take yourself on a self-guided, magical tour of the historic Rim Village. The structure and layout of the village is truly a little marvel of its own, with three observation bays, the native stone parapet wall and art-influenced architectural design. Each building in the village was crafted to follow the flow of nature around them, and many features were constructed with native boulders and logs.
