Plants of Crater Lake National Park
The flora of Crater Lake National Park is
typical of the vegetation found throughout the Southern Cascades. Generally, the
vegetation of the region reflects a mosaic of forested areas and open non-
forested areas.

Climate, topography, soil development, and fire history all
affect the composition and distribution of existing plant communities. Because
of this natural species diversity, the park is regarded by many as a sanctuary
for native forest and meadow communities, with limited introductions of non-native species. Approximately 50,000 acres of late seral
forest exist throughout the park. Fire suppression and historic logging
activities have altered forest structure and species composition throughout
portions of the park and surrounding areas. [Crater Lake National Park
