CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK – What a sight! A black bear was seen swimming to the famous Wizard Island at Crater Lake National Park.
“It had been many decades since we had witnessed a bear swimming in Crater Lake, so it was a real treat for the few lucky folks who got to see it,” said officials at the Oregon national park.
The curious bear lumbered down the caldera wall by Watchman Peak, crossed Skell Channel, spent a couple hours exploring Wizard Island, then swam back and climbed up the caldera wall again. No word on what might have drawn the bear to the island.
