The crater is called the Witches Caldron. Follow the trail as it switches back and forth several times to where it ends at the top of the cinder cone.Īt the top, the trail goes all the way around the crater of the cinder cone.
Eventually, the trail begins moving up the side of the cinder cone that formed Wizard Island, the trees become more sparse and the trail more loose. Stay on the northeast trail and continue heading up. The northwest fork is the Fumarole Bay Trail. Initially, the trail passes over very rough volcanic rock through a forest of trees that provide good shade. The trail is well maintained with signs that are easy to follow. The boat will arrive at Wizard Island and the trailhead for both the summit and Fumarole Bay Trail begin at the end of the dock. Depending on the option selected, the boat ride can be short and direct to Wizard Island or can include a boat tour of the lake with a ranger explaining the lakes history and major features. If this parking lot fills up, people often park their vehicles along the park road.Īt the bottom of Cleetwood Cove Trail, board one of the boats at your designated time and sit back and relax until you arrive at Wizard Island. Cleetwood Cove Trail is located along East Rim Drive and a rather large parking lot is located directly across from the trailhead. To begin the hike, take Cleetwood Cove Trail, the only trail that provides access to the lake, down to Cleetwood Cove and the boat landing.
