[pct-l] Camping/Water north of Crater Lake

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

In 2006 there was a water cache at Highway 138 that I passed by.  Not sure if this is a regularly maintained water cache, but personally I would not count on it.  If you are driving to Crater Lake why not just drive up to Highway 138 and cache your own water if you are worried about carrying water all the way to next known water source?

As I recall, no - there is no water there; just picnic tables. However, that was ten years ago.

  Hi everyone, 

  I'm doing a section hike in Oregon this summer and was wondering about the 
  area north of Crater Lake - I'm going to take the alternate route to go 
  around the rim, but there does not seem to be much water north of the rim. 
  Is there any water at the trailhead just northwest of the intersection with 
  Highway 138?  Does anyone know this area particularly well, or have 
  experience camping around here?  It's about 18 miles from the rim village to 
  highway 138, so I'll want to camp around there give or take a few miles.  I 
  also want to avoid going to Diamond Lake so I can scramble up Mt. Thielsen. 

  Thanks in advance, 
  Will
