When was Crater Lake established as
a National Park?
Answer:
Crater Lake: the 5th, 6th, or 7th park established? It depends on how
you look at it. If you only consider existing national parks, Crater
Lake could be numbered as high as the fifth national park. Crater Lake
became #5 with the decommissioning of Mackinac Island and the absorption
of General Grant into the current Kings Canyon National Park. If you
allow General Grant to remain, we are #6 on the list. If you stick to
the original list, regardless of present status, Crater Lake was the
seventh national park to be established.
