Not so familiar is the view from the lake itself, looking up the steep rim. '.- The shoreline cliffs, vary ing from 500 to 2,000 feet high, are of multicolored lava. Continuing through Labor Day, scenic boat trips are available several times each day and row boats are. avail able for fishing. No fishing license is required. The boat landing may be reached via the Cleetwood trail, opened a few years ago. It is 11 miles northwest of Rim Village on the Rim drive. The 1.1 -mile trail to the water's edge is steep in places. Trip Encircles Lake A 25-mile boat trip, which encircles the lake, pauses at scenic Wizard Island, a sym metrical cinder cone 760 feet high, and the Phantom Ship, a mass of lava 169 feet high resembling a ship under sail. The trip takes 2'i hours and a park naturalist is aboard the 35-foot launch. The boat's capacity is 30 persons. The trips leave daily at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. During the trip, passengers have a close look at the bril liant blue of the water. Its color is said to be caused chiefly by the scattering of sunlight in its clear depths, the blue rays of the sunlight being reflected from the wa ter and rays of other colors being absorbed. Four trips each day take passengers to Wizard Island where a trail leads from the shore to the crater, which is about 90 feet deep and 300 feet in diameter. The launch leaves at 8:30 and 11 a.m. and 2 and 3 p.m. - . . The boats are stored during the winter in two boat houses on Wizard Island out of dang er of avalanches. The first boat built on Wizard Island-was in 1914 or 1915, according to Ralph O. Peyton, who is with the Crater Lake Lodge company and is one of the boat con cession operators. Boat Lost in Storm This boat, Peyton explain ed, was lost in a storm and is somewhere" on the bottom of the lake. The Sparrow, a 35-foot In board boat still in use, was built on the island from parts carried down the old trail. It was constructed by Wilbur Telford, Klamath Falls, in mm, and has been main tained through the years. It is named for Alex .Spar row, an early superintendent 01 Me park. The other 35-foot Inboard is named Min, in honor of Mrs. Minnie Price, wife of .the owner of Crater Lake Lodge from 1921 to 1954. Telford also built this boat, but in Klamath Falls. It was "launched over the side" of the rim July 17, 1929, accord ing to Peyton. ? Plan To Lower Launch The plan was to lower the launch by rope and winch, using a tree for snubbing. The boat "got away" about 500 feet from the water and land ed on the rocks below, smash ing most of the planking, Pey- lon snici. Once repaired it was placed into service and is still being usea lonay. The Fisher, n 17-foot in board, was launched over the side last year "uneventfully. Peyton recalled, but it cost $5,000 to get it in the water. He added that the boats are worth twice as much in the water as on the rim. The smaller boat was pur chased irom the Tuna fleet In San Diego and was built for rough water, Peyton com mented. It will carry 12 pas sengers and is used on trips to Wizard Island from Cleet wood Cove where the dock is located. Named for Ranger The boat is named for Don usher, an early ranger at L rater Lake who was instru mental in having the Lava Beds Notional monument cre ated in California. People taking the boat trips win rci a ciosc iook at the ' Old Man of the Lake" - a 30-foot hemlock tree which has floated around the lake for a number of vears.
